    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...

    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?

    Contacts do not sync

    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...

    No longer add contacts via Apple Maps

    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.

    Resolved VIPs in Mail

    I added American Express to my VIPs but noticed that there were other emails not in the VIP list. I finally found out that adding all of the American Express source email addresses to the same Contact resolves that problem. I also add multiple text phone numbers to the same contact so they all...

    Contact Only Appears in Search

    I went looking for an old friend’s contact info in Contacts and was surprised that it wasn’t there. I searched in the app and scrolled to her name, but both came up blank. Then I searched from the main search field on the phone, and it came right up. I can open it in contacts, and edit it, but...

    Contacts app: what's the point adding extra date fields

    Hi! I'm curious if anyone ever tried to actually use an extra date field from the contacts app. One can add birthday-dates and these events can show up in your calendar (if you want). However, being born inevitably means one can die as well. I want to add the day the partner of my sister died...

    Has anyone else had issues with contacts suddenly disappearing from iCloud? I haven’t changed any settings and have always synced my contacts with iCloud. A couple of days ago almost all my contacts vanished, so I spoke to someone at Apple support who showed me how to restore contacts via...

    Dumb Question...how do you add a place from Apple Maps to your Contacts?

    I thought I looked everywhere, but I probably missed it. How do you add a contact from Apple Maps to my contacts? It used to be nice because it seemed that it added more info than a normal contact when you did that. I was adding a bunch of Apple stores to my contacts. I know I can obviously cut...

    Create Contact Group From Message in Mac Mail

    I get that Contacts and Mail are two different databases, but you'd think that Apple would have figured out that people might want to: 1. Add all message recipients to Contacts 2. Create a new Group based on the recipients of a message Is there any way to easily do those things? My online...

    Recent contacts suddenly disappeared

    My more recent contacts suddenly disappeared from my iPhone 6 Plus iOS 12. When I login to iCloud, the more recent contacts are gone as well. The contacts that remain are really old since way back. I have tried almost all of the obvious solutions posted online. Toggling on and off contacts...

    Time Machine No Longer Saves Lost Emails, Contacts, etc

    Mail autofill ghosts

    Ever since I upgraded to Big Sur the autofill function in composing emails has gone aglee. It used to provide a pop down list of frequent recipients as soon as I started typing, but now the popdown list includes addresses from people that died years ago, and, for old friends, lists email...
