Unknown number on iMessage says Maybe:

I got a text from some number i never seen before. after they sent another text it renamed them to “Maybe: ____” with their real name a their photo. I looked around saying its probably a bug that’ll fixes itself or its Apple scanning contact history from my iCloud. So i checked my iCloud contacts but i never had that number or name ever saved before. Does apple send over other iPhone users information like contact photos and names?

iPhone X, iOS 13

Hi Argues, 


Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities. 


It sounds like Siri is suggesting an unknown number as Maybe: [their name] and we’re happy to help! 


Siri can analyze “How You Use Your Devices and Apps to Provide Personalized Suggestions and Better Search Results Using Local, On-Device Processing, and Syncs Across Your Devices with End-to-End Encryption Using iCloud” 


If you want to “see and control the full list of features that Siri personalizes and apps that Siri suggests shortcuts for in Settings > Siri & Search. To stop apps from contributing information to personalize Siri, go to Settings > Siri & Search and tap the app name, then tap to turn off Learn from this App.” To learn more check out the Apple Support articles below.

We hope this helps.


Take care.
