I message not showing contact name

Hi!

(Maybe this post should have gone into the iPad community. But hey, no worries.)

Has the symptom of unshown names in iMessage occured after you restored or restarted your device?

In these cases the reason could be

• iPad has not yet finished indexing data
• iCloud has not yet finished syncing

Are you still experiencing this phenomenon after several minutes of use of iPad?

Let us know!

Best wishes!

Try this:

• Open Contact
• Select Groups (top left in landscape mode)
• Verify all groups are checked
• Pull down the list to refresh

Might do the trick.

You can always also try and reset the device, too.

Good luck!
