When in contacts I go to add a related name, such as son, mother, etc., I select done when finished adding or editing the contact, the relationship name in the saved contact shows up as manager. What am I doing wrong?
iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 15
Hello PJL57,
We'll be happy to help out with updating your contacts so they will display a related name. You can do this both in the Contacts app and Phone app.
It sounds like you know how to edit, so for reference, here is the link to Edit contacts on iPhone.
Open Contacts app > select a contact > tap Edit > scroll down to "add related name" > type in the name you will want Siri to recognize, for example "Son" > tap the link to the left of name you entered and select the relation (so you will see son > Son) > tap Done.
It would be the same steps using the Phone app.
Following these steps should update the relation for you. Let us know if you still have trouble.
Have a great day!

Thank you, I spend almost an hour on the phone with Apple, to no avail. Looks like my issue is with having multiple groups in my contacts. I deleted the contacts in question and entered them in the iCloud contacts, which worked fine.
Hey PJL57,
Thanks for keeping us updated with the results. We appreciate it!
We're glad that you were able to get in touch with Apple Support team and found a workaround for this issue.
We recommend that you submit this to Apple through their feedback website here: Product Feedback
Cheers!
