How to change My Card on iPhone

This is one of these head-slapping, why-didn't-I-figure-this-out fixes once you know it. (And I didn't either.) Go to Settings, select Mail-contacts-calendar, scroll down to My Info under Contacts and tap it, scroll through the contacts list until you find your card, select it, and close.

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!

What did you do? I have iPhone 5s with ios10 and i tried deleting the contact and i made sure the setting is set to my info. When i go to contacts app i still have wrong name and picture there but if i tap on my card then my correct details and pic shows. just displays wrong "cover" info

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.

My Card continuously assigns my son's card to my profile. Same first and last names, different middle name and address (we live about 1,000 miles apart. I don't want to delete his card. How can I make it "freeze" My Card to my profile?

First, go to "Settings" on your i Phone's touch screen. Next, scroll down until you reach "My info". Click on that and it will pull up your Contacts list. Simply school through to find yourself in the Contact's list and select yourself. This will result in the phone correctly replacing the other person's name with yours.

I can't delete all contacts! I can't even delete that wrong one, which I want to delete - there is no delete option at the bottom of the page. I do think if I could delete it and then restart my phone it might be fixed but I have a feeling restarting my phone without deleting it is not going to help but I may try it anyway.

Hey, I have tried changing details in settings and tried deleting the my card in contacts app. It still shows the wrong name and picture but when i tap it i get my info. How do i correct the displayed name and pic?

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!

Didn't work for me - don't know how to get the wrong person off - it won't allow me to delete it - delete is not an option at the bottom of the contact page

I had this same problem.

Check the contact that is listed as my card.

In may case, it was my daughter that was listed on my phone.

I opened her contact and it had my name listed as her mother under family.

I deleted my name off her contact as her mother, and then my name appeared now under my card.

I had the same problem....I had another person's name as my card even though I had reset it. When I pushed on my card it showed my data underneath the cover of someone else wrong. I scrolled down a bit and saw a suggestion to delete the Facebook app and restart the phone. For some stupid/unknown reason, that worked...

Facebook.

My wife would populate as me, my son would become my daughter according to Siri, my iPad would become my wife's iPad, some of my VIP contacts that are also on Facebook wouldn't text via Siri but I'd get a message that either contact has. I available mobile numbers (when they clearly have an iPhone), or I'd get "here's the phone numbers for so-and-so" then list an iPhone and an email for this person. Stupid.

Anyway, I nuked my Facebook & Messenger apps and magically, I am me again. I had to delete and add again those contacts that didn't work but all is ok so far now. I am going to add Facebook back in but set the permissions to. It sync with contacts. I believe that's where the problem lies.

I went to my info and put in a new account for myself however, it reverts back to the one that has both my information and the other "Susan"'s information in it - it thinks that is me so I can't delete her email address from it and just leave my own and I can't delete her facebook messenger connection - same problem - there is no edit function for either of those things - so it continues to call me by the wrong name and links me to her - I can't delete it - it doesn't even have a delete option at the bottom of the page - how in the world can I get it off of my phone and then enter myself back in with my picture and my name and ONLY my contact information?
