Hi fromgreenland,

I understand that your contact card is not saving the information you're adding on your iPhone. It looks like it updates a contact with your name but not your card.

If you haven't done so already, I recommend to close out of the Contacts app and restart your iPhone, then see if you're able to edit your contact card.

Force an app to close on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


If you're still unable to edit your contact card, you may want to try deleting the Contacts app then reinstalling it on your iPhone. Deleting the app shouldn't erase any of your contact information, they are still available in the Phone app.

Remove built-in Apple apps from the Home screen on your iOS 10 device or Apple Watch
Let me know how those steps work out for you and thanks for posting in the Apple Support Community.
Best regards.
