Spaced out Phone Numbers and contacts names not working I’ve got a new iPhone and the contacts all saved with the numbers from a backup but when ever they text me I get their number spaced out like this 51 59 999 999 I’ve been trying to get it to say the name if my phone has it saved but it constantly gives me the number spaced out. I’ve reset iMessage and Contacts in the settings by shutting them off and back on I’ve retyped the numbers in contacts and it still gives me these messages from spaced out phone numbers.

Android contacts not working Hey folks, I upgraded to iPhone 12pro a few months ago and ever since - all of my android using contacts don’t show up in my messages under their names! Just initials on the side and their phone number in main section… is it my settings or ??

Contacts I just got a new iPhone and it was working great..... but when I get a text message or call from people the contact name is not showing up just the number. I was on the phone with customer service and he said he has never seen this before, and there was nothing he could do. He didn’t know how to fix it. I googled it and it seems common with the iPhone. But it’s super frustrating. I tried to go to I cloud and toggle contacts on and off and resetting phone and it is still doing it. It’s super frustrating. Does anyone know how I can fix this problem.
