The new IOS 18 has my husbands contact saying Maybe: then his name instead of what I have him saved as. This just happened after I updated to 18.
[Re-Titled by Moderator]
iPhone 15 Pro Max, iOS 18
I was finally able to fix mine by deleting the email address off my spouses contact, that just so happen to be the email used as their Apple ID. It was weird how it was stuck sending messages over email, instead of phone number, even when I tried to force it to use a phone number.
Update: We're both still having this problem, even after the most recent update of iOS 18.1, which didn't seem to do much for our iPhone 12. Note: This issue began after we updated to iOS18. He got a new 16+ on Monday and the problem persists.
The only this that has change is that we added his email back so now it reads Maybe: Husband <first and last> to you & husband
You can disable this feature, if you want, by:
This didn't work for me now it says Maybe: Husband to you & <his email>
This is a bug and needs to be fixed.
Hi try delete her mail and se if you have 2 different conversations try to send you a message, I deleted the normal sms green message and added the email again after that and it’s worked for me
Unlike some Android devices, contacts are neither stored locally on an iPhone nor in SIM. They are synced to an email account that you have 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.
Same Here.
Still no fix. Deleted any contact associated with my name phone number or email, and same with my wife's name phone number and email.
Restarted both phones.
Synced to iCloud.
Deleted all associated contacts from any source (apple/hotmail/gmail/outlook).
restarted phones.
still get the error on mine. not on hers. it now sometimes thinks an email is an imessage.
I have the same problem, deleting email works as you mentioned. It is frustrating I can’t store email for my contacts anymore of if I don’t wan’t it saying “maybe”
Try to re-update his contact info in the Contacts App!
The new iOS 18 has my husband's contact name saying 'Maybe'
