Part 1: Fix iPhone Contact Names Missing Error via Rebooting iPhone<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\nLike your computer that could handle ninety percent problems upon a reboot, your iPhone could also fix some errors through a reboot. You could just reboot your iPhone to see if it fixes iPhone contacts missing names error or not. If you are lucky enough, this will be fixed. And don\u2019t ask us why it works, we don\u2019t know either.<\/p>\n
![\"reboot-iphone-01\"](\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" "\\"reboot-iphone-01\\"")
<\/a><\/div>\n\nIt\u2019s easy to reboot your iPhone. You could:
\n1. Press and hold the Top (or Side) button until the power off slider appears for iPhone 8 and previous, or press and hold the Side button and either volume button until the power off slider appears for iPhone X or later.
\n2. Drag the slider to turn your device completely off.*
\n3. After your device turns off, press and hold the Top (or Side) button again until you see the Apple logo.
\nOr, you could add a \u201cRestart\u201d option to the virtual Home panel on your iPhone to restart your iPhone via a simple click directly.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/div>\n\n1. Go to Settings on your iOS device. Tap on General > Accessibility.
\n2. Under Accessibility, turn on the \u201cAssistiveTouch\u201d option.
\n3. Now you\u2019ll notice an AssistiveTouch virtual button on the screen.
\n4. Tap the button and select Device > More (three dots).
\n5. Tap on Restart option and then select restart to confirm.
\n6. The device will now restart automatically.
\nAdding a Restart button on your virtual Home panel will make it easier to restart your iPhone.<\/p>\nPart 2: Fix iPhone Contact Names Missing Error via Resetting iCloud<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\nYou could also reset your iCloud to fix contact names missing on iPhone or iPad since iCloud contact sync will influence the contact information on your iPhone or iPad. This includes 2 sections. If any of these 2 solutions work, skip the other one.
\nSection 1: Turn Contacts Off\/On on iCloud<\/p>\n<\/a><\/div>\n\n1. Go to \"Settings >
> iCloud >Turn the Contacts toggle off.
\n2. Click \u201cDelete from My iPhone\u201d option.
\n3. Restart your iPhone, then go to \"Settings >> iCloud\" to turn the Contacts toggle on. Now, your iCloud contacts would be synced to your iPhone.
\nSection 2: Log out\/in iCloud account
\nThis is a nonsense suggestion, but it really worked for some people. You could just go to \"Settings >\u201d option to scroll down to the \u201cSign Out\u201d option and click it, then open the \u201cSettings\u201d app on your iPhone to sign in again. This won\u2019t bring any damage to your iPhone or make things worse, so why don\u2019t you take a try?<\/p>\n Part 3: Fix iPhone Contact Names Missing Error via Refreshing Contacts Database<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\nMost people who encounter this issue find that contacts names just get lost from the message or phone calls. But when they open the Contact app, everything is OK. All contacts display normally with number and name in Contacts app. So, you can have a try to edit any contact in the Contacts app, or just add more contacts to let the contacts database get refreshed.<\/p>\n
Part 4: Fix iPhone Contact Names Missing Error via Restoring Contacts via Siri<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\nIf you are used to Siri, it might work for you to ask Siri to bring back all contact information on your iPhone. Siri has been a quite smart virtual assistant to do more things you could ever imagine. It could recognize your orders and the contacts on iPhone so as to bring names back. So, just have a try.<\/p>\n
Part 5: Fix iPhone Contact Names Missing Error via Resetting Network<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\nIf you have kept your iPhone synced with iCloud in contacts, you will know that a stable sync would be important. The Internet connection will influence the sync. Therefore, you could reset network connection on your iPhone to try if it works. The below steps would show you how to reset network connection on iPhone.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n\n1. On your iPhone, go to \"Settings > General\".
\n2. Scroll down to find and tap \"Reset\" option to select \"Reset Networking Settings\" option.
\nIn this way, you will reset your network connection to factory settings. That means all network connections will be deleted. You could re-connect WiFi to stay your iPhone synced with iCloud to refresh contacts.<\/p>\nPart 6: Fix iPhone Contact Names Missing Error via Reporting to Apple Server<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\nSometimes the Apple Server might encounter a database error. After trying all above-mentioned solutions, if you still see your iPhone contacts names missing, you could try to report this to Apple. If there is an Apple Server error, you have to wait for a while until they fix this one.<\/p>\n
Part 7: Fix iPhone Contact Names Missing Error via Restoring Contacts from iTunes Backup<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\nIf you have backed up your iPhone to iTunes<\/a> previously when all contacts are normal, you could delete all contacts in your iPhone and then restore normal contacts from iTunes backup. You could directly recover contacts for iPhone from iTunes backup with iTunes<\/a>. However, you need to know that recovering iPhone contacts with iTunes will recover the entire iPhone backup from iTunes. You can\u2019t selectively recover what you want.
