contacts

In the Contacts app, you can create custom lists to enhance organization. A couple of years ago, I started doing this, but recently, I've added new contacts without assigning them to any lists. Is there a simple way to filter out these unassigned contacts? It feels like there should be an...

Can anyone solve this problem? I want to send an email via either my iPhone or my iPad to list in my Mac contacts. The usual blue envelope that you click to send an email to everyone in a list is grayed out. I suspect that is because there are too many people in the list - around. 150. Is there...

Title says it all. I'd like to be able to identify the contacts that are added by WhatsApp in my macOS Contacts.app I've looked at all the available fields in Contacts app, and also looked in BusyContacts, but cannot find any field/tag/indication that the Contact was added by WhatsApp. Grateful...

Hello everyone Is there any way (via settings or hack) to stop messages and contacts from syncing to Apple Watch? Thanks.

Hey guys, my parents have Huawei phones without google services. I `ve bought iphones for Christmas present, but i wonder how to transfer their contacts to the new phones? Any ideas?

My wife's phone (iPhone 15 Plus) and my phone (iPhone 12) are swapping photos somehow. Let me explain. I notice when I login to my Mac each day, my avatar is the one my wife uses. I also see my (her) avatar on my phone in Messages and in Contacts. I try to switch the photos back on my Mac or...

Hi all, Does anyone know if it's possible to create a contact group in iCloud and sync only that group instead of all contacts? I've been searching for this a while but couldn't find a solution, so maybe it's not possible but was wondering if anyone was able to find a way around this. Thanks!

Settings > Contacts > Short Name > Prefer Nicknames (on) With this setting enabled, texts display nicknames, but incoming calls do not. Is this the intended behavior or am I doing something wrong? (Running iOS 16)

*** Resolved, see post #11 *** I've finally started to use Waze for navigation and I'm trying to work out how to navigate to a contact. I've googled and pretty much everything I've found says that I need to make sure my phone number is configured within Waze. I don't have an option to add a...

My contacts' phone labels (Work, Home, etc.) keep disappearing, and turning into generic "Phone." I mostly use Outlook for iOS for mail and calendar (with multiple accounts) on my iPhone, and Mail and Contacts on my Mac. I've seen some vague reports of the same behavior potentially attributed to...

Does anybody know what is the logic of how the Contacts app sorts contacts? Some of my contacts include only the first name and some both first name and last name. And here is how they are sorted: Ilya Nikita Timofey Yaroslav Dmitriy A... Aleksandr Mikhail D... This order doesn't make any...

Hi I want to find an old contact that is a name and email only. I have no recollection of the details other than that. Is there any way or app to filter contacts by email only contacts? It can be either via MacOS or iOS, I just need to find it. I have a floaty timeline of when I acquired the...

After downloading iOS 16, I assigned all of my contacts to different lists. In the months since doing that, I have added more contacts, but I don’t see a way to filter out unassigned contacts. Is there a way?

It is beyond me why Apple would never think that a user would want to make a contact group from a message they were viewing in Mail. No, I don't want to go to another app, create a group, then search for each person included in the message I was reading and drag them over to the group. Really...

So I updated my contacts on my iPhone and first it synced with contacts on my Mac but suddenly it stopped. No new changes can be seen on my Mac. Why?

Why do I have two My Card in Contacts on my Mac? One is synced with my iPhone/iCloud and the other one is not (Mac only). I don't want two My Card on my Mac. I want to use the one on my iPhone/iCloud but I don't seem to be able to emerge them. What am I doing wrong? No others contacts is...

Apple’s increased end-to-end encryption in iOS 16.2 is a great thing, and long overdue. It’s a real shame they are not going all the way and still leaving Contacts, Calendars, and Mail out of the E2E encryption. The “interoperability” reasoning they give for this is completely bogus...

None of my contacts have the country code in their phone number. When someone texts me from a number that does contain it, Messages only recognizes that person by their phone number rather than their name. Anyone else noticing this? Is there a solution?

Hello, I have an iPhone and a Mac desktop and a Mac laptop. My contacts do not sync properly--contacts added to my iPhone do not appear on my desktop or laptop. Consequently my messages don't show my contacts on my desktop. I use iCloud to back everything up (the same iCloud account). This...

Before iOS 16 I used to be able to add a contact via Apple maps. I found this very useful. I would do it for every number I called.
