“Maybe” in front of contact name

When I get a text from my wife, the popup on my iPhone says "Maybe: (my wife’s name).

I never had this issue before. She’s stored as a contact and have been for many years. I haven’t changed anything and all is same as before.


When I open the message app, she’s listed there with her name like always. This happens only with the popup notification when I receive a message. It’s very irritating. It’s also says the message is to me and also herself, like it was a group message.


i have turned off EVERYTHING with Siri under messages and also under contacts so it’s nothing I can do there. I also did delete her as a contact and added again, and also signed out and in again from iCloud. Nothing helps. Still get this “maybe”. Any suggestions?

iPhone 14 Pro Max, iOS 18

Did you ever find a fix for this? I’m having the same problem.


Also on ios 18. Also logged in and out of icloud. Tweaked all the Siri settings. Deleted and re-added contact.


Nothing has worked. Still showing “maybe” and “to you & <contact name>” on the notification.
