Contacts totally mixed up - possibly after ios 16 update My contacts have now become mixed up, on my phone and on icloud. A contact will phone me, but the name is not correct, it shows another of my contacts. It looks like phone numbers and email addresses have been randomly switched between about half of my contacts. I attempted to restore from back up from icloud, but the only back up that I could see was one that was automatically done after the trouble had already started. None of my contacts are connected, and I am the only one using this apple account. My text messages are also showing the wrong name. It is very bizarre. Is there a fix for this? Is it a bug in the update? Is it a virus?

Some contacts showing as numbers not names I have the 15pro, software is up to date 17.1.1. Some of my contacts are showing as numbers instead of names but not all. I’ve tried restarting the phone but it didn’t help. Please advise. Thank you.
