iPhone contact labels

My iPhone will not accept a change in labels to phone numbers. When I try to change “home” to “other” or “mobile” it immediately reverts back to “home”. Most people do not have home phones anymore. I have an iPhone 13 pro with the latest iOS available.

What is your default Contacts account? If none, please add an email account and enable contacts.


Unlike some Android devices, contacts are neither stored locally on an iPhone nor in SIM. They are synced to an email account that you had Google, iCloud, AOL, Exchange, Outlook, Yahoo or any Other



If you have a corporate email account added through a profile on your device, please check with your organization's system administrator.
