When I change the label on a phone number (work to main) it reverts to the default in a few seconds. The reversal happens both before I save and after I save. I tried restarting the phone but that didn't fix the problem. This feature worked until the last update or two. I'm currently on 15.6.1.
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
If Contacts were on iCloud, try this --> Restore contacts, calendars, bookmarks, and more using ...
Else Add the email account that stores your contacts in the IOS mail app and enable Contacts. If you have a corporate email account added through a profile on your device, please check with your organisation's system administrator.
This is a personal device without any management profiles. Contacts are backed up to iCloud and accessed on my iPhone and iPad.
I think the problem might be that I have 3 Gmail accounts but only the primary one backs up to iCloud. The contact I am trying to modify is not one that is backed up. It is, however, shared between my two devices. I’m not sure how that works without iCloud backup. Mmm…
It just didn’t like “main” or “other” but it let me change to custom. I’m going to live with that.
Nope, that didn’t change anything. The change label feature works on my husband’s iPhone 13 mini so the problem is with my setup.
Contact labels revert to default ios 15.6.1
