Names not showing on group texts

Everyone on a group-text list is now showing up identified by the name of the group instead of by their individual names. Why is this happening? I’d like to be able to see who’s saying what.


This is only happening on my iPhone not my MacBook.

iPhone 8, iOS 16

We'd also suggest updating your device if it does not have the latest iOS version installed. iOS updates contain bug fixes that could potentially resolve an issue like this one:
