Why can I not find a name in contacts but when I put the number into the phone it comes up with the name of the contact it cannot find?

Hello casacorazon

Welcome to Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you're not seeing a name in your contacts, but when you search your iPhone, you're able to see the contact. We are happy to share information that may help.

Try the steps below:

1. Open the Contacts app.
2. Tap Groups in the upper-left corner.
3. Make sure that all groups have a check next to them.

You can find more information here: Use other contact accounts on iPhone.

Take care.
