ID on Shared Albums

When adding photos or comments to a shared album, I am shown as my mobile phone number and not my name. All others are identified by name. How can I fix this?

MacBook Pro 17″, OS X 10.11

Hi richardchic,


It seems you're having trouble finding yourself on a shared album and we have some options that can help.


Do you have a contact card set up for yourself?

Make sure you have your contact setup with your name and phone number:

Set up your My Card in Contacts on Mac


Let us know if that solves your issue. This might be expected if this wasn't set up.
