In creating a shared album one contact is only showing with their email.

I was creating a shared album but one of the contacts would only show their email and not their phone number. I manually input the phone number but would like it to work as expected. I tried the fix for this issue in imessage and it didn't work.

How do I fix this issue?

Can't share contact I've shared contacts with other iPhone users lots of times, but I can't seem to share a contact with my wife. Today I opened a contact sheet in my iPhone Contacts app and tapped Share Contact. (By the way: My wife's iPad was right in front of me.) Next, I tapped to AirDrop the contact to my wife. The alert popped up on the iPad screen, and I tapped Accept. The contact sheet appeared on the iPad screen, and I tapped Save. The contact did not appear in her Contacts app. Well ... I repeated the whole process, except that this time I tapped Create New Contact, and then tapped Save. Again, no joy. Okay–y–y ... let's try sending the contact via iMessage. The message appeared in her Messages. I tapped the contact sheet and tapped Create New Contact. Again, nothing. What are we missing?

Forcing Messages to use phone number instead of email for outgoing messages. I have a contact that has an iPhone and an Apple account and when I send him a Message I have the option of choosing either the phone number or the email address. Everything is fine until I include him in a group message that also includes an Android user; when that person replies, it turns into an email to the first friend. I would like to make sure to use the phone instead of the email, but the email is default. Worse, I sent a message that included both of them, being sure to use the phone, but in the thread it shows that it still went to the email. Is there any way to make Messages stop using his email? This doesn't happen with other people who have both phone numbers and emails. iOS 26.2 and MacOS Sequoia 15.7.3. This seems to be happening no matter which I use to send the message.
