How to change My Card on iPhone

"My card" in Contacts is not me and it won't let me edit it or delete the info. for the person listed (who happens to have the same first name as i do). Any ideas?


iPhone 6S. OS 9.2


I have already tried to delete the information for the person listed as "my card." Because the phone thinks it is "my card" deleting the contact and/or editing the info. does not work.

Create a new contact with your correct info, set that as "My Card" in:

Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Contacts > My Info

I could see my Contact card listed in my iPhone 5S (using iOS 9.3.2) but it was dimmed on the Search list, and I could not click on the listed item to open the Contact Card to view or edit my info.


Designating another card as "My Info" under Settings/General/Mail, Contacts, Calendar did not help this at all.


Then, relying on someone else's post, I deleted the FaceBook app and restarted my iPhone.

Now I can edit the Contact Card for My Info just like any other Contact card.


Thanks, FaceBook!

It's definitely a Facebook problem. I had same issue. I fixed it by going to settings, contacts and changed My Info to my contact in address book. Then, went back to settings under Facebook, disabled all allowances/permissions. Restarted device. It showed no My Card person in Contacts. So, then I re-enabled all Facebook permissions in settings. I tapped on the Update all Facebook contacts and viola! It now shows myself as home person in my contacts.

If you’re on macOS, what you need to do is open Contacts. Once it’s open, click on “Contacts” in the upper left-hand corner of the screen. Click on “Preferences.” After you do that, click on “vCard.” Then untick the box entitled, “Enable private me card.” After you do that, redo your card and save it. Click on your new card in Contacts, click on the “Card” menu in the menubar, and then click “Make this my card.” I hope this helps!
