My messages no longer show the names of the people I'm texting with, only their phone numbers. How do I change it back to the names?

iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 14

How are you managing your Contacts? Have you tried powering the iPhone off and back on again? If you are using iCloud to manage your Contacts, you can go into Settings><yourname>iCloud and turn Contacts off, power cycle the iPhone and then turn it back on again.
