When receiving a call the contact is mentioned and in addition or 2 others

I do use an iPhone 8 and software version 14.1. This issue was also there prior to the update.

I am certain that the issue has started with a syncing. However all syncs for contacts are removed and still when receiving a call for one of my contacts is says:

Contact (name) or 2 others.

Any way to get this removed?

Thank you

Contacts are neither stored locally on an iPhone nor in SIM. They are synced to an email account that you had Google, iCloud, AOL, Exchange, Outlook, Yahoo or any Other


If Contacts on iCloud, try this --> Restore contacts, calendars, bookmarks and more using ...


  1. How many Contacts account (email client server) you have?
  2. What is your default Contacts Account?
  3. Which email account you are using to store Contacts?


  • See the GIF below for Contacts and Default Account



  • Learn how to add an email account and make it default (Watch the GIF)
  • This example is for Gmail but the process remains same for all Google, iCloud, AOL, Exchange, Outlook, Yahoo or any Other
