Problem adding contact to favorites I cannot add contacts to my favorites list. I have added many in the past and still have them. I recently updated to 17.5 and haven't added any since.

problem adding contacts to favorites I have iOS 18.2.1 and can't add someone to "favorites." I follow the same procedure for others and for some people it works, for a handful it doesn't. The number I'm trying to add is correct and I call/text that person all the time. I've removed the contact, turned iCloud sync off/on, added him back in, rebooted again, sent the contact to myself and created a new one, etc. etc. -- all the fixes I could find online. I still can't add this person (plus at least one other) to favorites. I did the same thing for someone else and that person was added with no trouble at all. Any advice?

iPhone won't save Favorite contacts (First noticed in iOS 15.6, but it may have existed earlier. Still present in 15.7.) I am no longer able to save contacts as Favorites. I go through the same steps as previously worked: -- select contact from Contacts list -- tap Add to Favorites -- tap Call -- tap the number I want to add as a favorite But the number is not added to my Favorites list. There are plenty of favorites there already, added some time ago through exactly the same steps. There are various fixes cited on third-party sites, but none of them apply in my case. I'm not syncing contacts with other accounts or with iCloud; there is no duplication; there are no linked contacts; I'm on the latest iOS.
