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...- rogercorke

Make Contact Groups Within Mail
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...- larryleveen

Thoughts on Contacts, Calendar, Mail non-encryption in iOS 16.2
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...- hyperbolic

iOS 16 Update Messes with Texting Contacts that Have or Don’t Have Country Codes
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?
