iPhone 12 contact names not displayed

Hi guys, I’ve only had my device since November, the last few weeks if any of my contacts call or text message, their name doesn’t display, just their number. Pretty annoying when it just shows a mobile number calling.

Strangely if I go in to the recent call logs after the name appears. Any ideas what’s happened or how to rectify? Thanks

Hi _Preecer_,


It looks like you're having issues with contact names not showing correctly. If that is the case, let's try the following.


Manage and delete contacts on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


Make sure the account you use for contacts is selected.


After that, let's try restarting your iPhone to see if that helps.


Restart your iPhone


Cheers.
