iPhone / iPad not displaying Contact addresses correctly?
I posted this under iPhone to to but maybe here is better as it seems to be an iCloud issue or a Contacts App issue (post 7.1.2)
Just noticed this but with some addresses both my iPhone and iPad are displaying them incorrectly, despite them looking fine on the MacBook. Many addresses I have for contact are long, not everyone's address fits the one box / one entry option (e.g. street, town, postcode, state etc). Up until the latest update to 7.1.2 it was working OK, I think. At least it was working well earlier this year, quite when this bug developed I don't know. As an example, in some addresses, because they are so long I have to type in 'Street'
Line 1
Line 2
Line 3
Line 4
This then displays correctly on the Mac as
Line 1
Line 2
Line 3
Line 4
Town
Postcode
State
Country etc etc
The specific labels will change according to address format.
However, on the iPhone and iPad these addresses display as:
Line 2
Line 3
Line 4
Line 1
Town
Postcode
State
Country
If I delete Line 1 from the address it then becomes
Line 3
Line 4
Line 2
Town
Postcode
State
Country
The only way I can get the address to display correctly on the iPhone/iPad is by typing:
Line 2
Line 3
Line 4
Line 1
Town
Postcode
State
Country
Which then of course screws the display up on the Mac. Whatever happens the IOS devices seem to move whatever occupies line one in the street field down to the last line?? Anyone else encountered this or a fix? As with any updates of late it seems 1 step forward, 2 back. So much time now needs to be devoted to correcting glitches, or finding barely acceptable work arounds, as is the case here. It doesn't "Just work". far from it.
I've already submitted a bug report to Apple.
