Announcing calls

I have my iPhone set to announce calls, but when I get calls it announces the caller twice. For example, when I get a call from a contact Joe🤍, it says “Joe white heart or Joe white heart.” I’m curious how to get it to only announce one time. I do not have multiple contacts for Joe.

Please check your list of Contacts the Phone number is stored in two email accounts.


If you may have the same contacts in multiple email accounts. Either remove the contacts from the rarely used email account or disable contacts from the rarely used mail account in the Mail app.


Unlike some Android devices, contacts are neither stored locally on an iPhone nor in SIM. They are synced to an email account that you had Google, iCloud, AOL, Exchange, Outlook, Yahoo or any Other
