Over the last few weeks I have noticed a lowercase “r” showing up randomly in the address and notes section of the contact on my iPhone. I use Google Contacts and sync with Microsoft Outlook using 4Team’s Sync software to sync contacts and calendar. It only happens with random contacts but seems to be getting worse.
Any idea why this is happening?
iPhone 12 Pro
I doubt if that has anything to do with the iphone which does not perform any synchronising. It is all done on the web using the three entities you mentioned. iPhone contacts app is simply a client to read and update what is in the web database.

So Google seems to he the common factor.
It cannot show on two iOS devices simultaneously unless it came from the web database. Just because it us not displayed on the web does not mean it is not there
If what you are saying is true, then it should appear when Google Contacts syncs with Microsoft Outlook. You could be correct, but no one is discussing the issue when you search using the Google Contacts as the cause.
Yes, I use a third party application from 4Team called Sync2 which allows Google Contacts to sync with MS Outlook. Their tech support say it’s a known issue of theirs but no current solution.
If you use their application too, then we have to wait for a software update or patch.
But it is not in the web database. Only shows on the iPhone and iPad contacts. Another person also posted the same thing, and syncs with Google Contacts.
I have not heard of it either.
Mixing microsoft, google and Apple together using a third party sync tool, I'm surprised it works at all.
Did you find any answers? I have the same problem. Google Contacts fine, Apple iPhone Contacts lower case "r" added to every line in Notes. Sometimes in address.
Thanks for the quick answer! I use the same utility. Glad to have an explanation
