Q: 500+ No Name contacts after upgrading to iOS 10

I noticed after the iOS 10 upgrade there were 500+ contacts with No Name. My actual contacts appear to be fine. I deleted the 500  No Name contacts (a very tedious process!) and today I checked and I had like 12 new No Name contacts. What is causing this?

iPhone 6s Plus, iOS 10

    Hello Rcouter,


    Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities. I know having an issue with contacts after updating is not what you expect. If I understand correctly, you are having an issue with contacts being added with the label No Name. Based on that, I would go to Settings > Contacts and tap on Accounts to see what accounts are syncing contacts. Then turn them off one by one to see which account is causing this issue. You can also check the web portal for the accounts syncing contacts, such as Yahoo or Gmail, and see if this issue is reflected there. If this issue is with iCloud contacts specifically, this article may help resolve this issue:

    I went into contacts/groups and unchecked PersonMetadata and the NoNames stopped showing.
