Social Profile in iPhone Contact not getting saved correctly

When I update a contact in my iPhone 13 Pro Max to have a Facebook link, it is not getting saved correctly. It always shows https: though I type in the full profile link.


Also I use GMail as my default Contacts (not iCloud) as I would like to keep GMail as my master list. I am not sure where this Social Profile link would get stored in GMail Contact.


If any one else had the same 2 issues as above, can you pl advise how you resolved them?

You can easily add social media profiles to your iPhone contacts by following these steps:


  1. Open the Contacts app on your iPhone.
  2. Select the contact you want to add a social profile for.
  3. Tap the "Edit" button in the top-right corner of the screen.
  4. Scroll down to the "add social profile" section.
  5. Tap the "add social profile" button.
  6. Select the social media platform you want to add (e.g. Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.).
  7. Enter the username or link for the contact's social media profile.
  8. Tap "Done" to save the changes.


Once you have added the social profile to the contact, you can easily access it by tapping on the social media icon next to the contact's name in the Contacts app or in other apps that access your contacts, such as Messages or Phone.
