Why does my iPhone say the contact name "or 2 others"?

Why does my iPhone say the contact name "or 2 others". For instance, when my mom calls me, it reads as "Mom or 2 others". To be clear, I only have her # saved under her contact, no one else is listed with that number. I have all my contacts linked, so she only shows up once in my contact list. How can I get this to stop?

Do you have more than one account syncing your contacts [check under Settings > Mail > Accounts > your email account] if yes go to the contacts app and click groups on the upper left hand corner, select all groups and check to see if you have a duplicate of that contact in the other account.

Hello kt_1213,


Thank you for reaching out to Apple Support Communities, and we'll be happy to help in any way we can. We understand you're having issues with "or 2 others" showing for your contacts. Is your mom the only contact affected? If so, does removing and adding her again resolve the issue?

We hope this helps.


Cheers!
