Make sure the software is up to date on all devices involved.


Sometimes it helps to have the devices involved take a fresh look at settings:

● Try signing out of accounts and back in again.

● Restarting is a simple step that can resolve many unexpected behaviors.

Here is a solution where editing the name of a mobile device resolved recent occurrences of this issue. It has worked for at least 6 users (and likely more who never provided feedback). It isn't something that Apple has in its documentation so I am putting it in a second post for those who are willing to explore beyond Apple's officially recognized solutions.


Go to: Settings > General > About > Name

Change the name

Then "Done" and retry.
