Caller ID says Maybe

Hi,

Please, when I receive a call, from where Apple or my iPhone fetch the information to display '' Maybe'' with a name next to a phone number that I dont have in my contact list? Thank you!

If it is a phone call and you do not have the person in your Contacts the Caller ID display comes from the other persons phone/cell service provider. Facebook, emails, LinkedIn, Apple ID, Instagram, TikTok, etc. are not involved. If the caller is using a paid service for spoofing the display can be anything.
