When I receive a text message the notification banner on my MacBook no longer shows the contact name, only the phone number. I do not see a setting anywhere to control the action.
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.6
Hi BrianB724,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. We understand contact names don't appear in Messages notifications on your Mac. If you haven't already, make sure the contacts appear in the Contacts app. Add people and companies to Contacts on Mac - Apple Support
If the issue persists, close the Messages app and launch it again. This step can help resolve unexpected app behavior. Quit apps on Mac - Apple Support
Let us know if the results. Be sure to include any other steps that you may have tried.
Cheers!
Hello BrianB724,
At this point, we recommend contacting Apple Support directly for further help with this issue.
Have a great day!
Restarting an app, and restarting the device are always the first things I try. Searching for solutions online is the next step. If neither of these work I reach out for assistance. So, no, such a rudimentary step as you suggested is not the solution. And yes, all software is up to date.
