When I make a phone call from my iPhone 13, my name does not appear anymore on the persons phone or TV screen. What does appear is my phone number. Let’s face it nobody knows anybody’s phone number of these days. Has this been corrected?
The name comes from her Contacts; iPhones do not display caller ID names, only numbers. So if your phone number is not in her contacts your name won’t be displayed.
Your contacts don’t matter. Your friends must have you in THEIR address books to see your name, and they must be full 10 digit numbers. The also need to have Dial Assist turned on it Settings/Phone.
Hi, CindessCT. Your friends would have to add you as a contact on their end. Share this article with them, and instruct them to manually add you as a contact in their devices: Add and use contact information on iPhone
Cheers.
Hello CindessCT,
Do you know if your friend has made any changes to their device such as removing any email accounts? If so, your contact may have been saved to that account and have been removed when the account was removed. We'd recommend having your friend reach out to Apple directly to be able to isolate the issue and find a solution.
Take care.
Thank you for the response. I have two friends whose phone numbers are in my address book. They used to see my name pop up when I call them and they no longer do. I thought it could be a result of the new software that we downloaded. Can you give me some guidance or direction? Thank you
When I call a friend of mine, my phone number will appear on her phone. Previously my name would appear. Has this been corrected?
