Apple ID shows wrong name

Hi, I had this issue and nothing suggested worked. What did work was updating my AutoFill info. I went into "Settings" and on the top where there was a search area I typed in "AutoFill" and a safari autofill thing came up and there I changed it from my son's contact info to my own "me" and it fixed it! Hope that helps! :D

Mine was showing my wife’s name and initials in ‘Appear As’ in Airdrop on my iPad but as me on my iPhone…. A little disconcerting that this isn’t more widely known. Changing autofill fixed it for me - so not sure what the link is for quite a critical piece of information - I could masquerade as anyone.

Thanks Dreamnotez.

Nice one, I had suddenly become Beth! Autofill fixed it for me.

I don't even know that you or Dreamnotez are having the same problem as that being addressed in this topic. In your cases it appears to be a Safari specific thing.

Oh thank you so much. Autofill solved the problem.

Worked for me Dreamnotez. Thanks!

Issue I was having was Settings and instead of showing my name it was showing Beth who is one of my contacts. Dreamnotez fix worked for me. Whether it is Safari I don't know, don't care, I just have an iPhone which was doing funny things, now fixed.
