Custom Labels for Contacts

Thank you for your response. I restarted my cell phone and lo and behold when I went back to one of my contacts and tried to change the label to a custom label it stayed. Previously it would change but then when I hit “done,” it was reset to “home.“ it appears that your suggestion has solved the problem. Thank you so much.

I use the standard contact program that came with my iPhone. I have a large number of contacts, like about over 900 in my contact list, and a high percentage of them have custom labels, and ironically, I have custom labels for, a contact that has two phone numbers one of them works fine for a custom label and the other one won’t work, it always defaults to “home.” That is why it’s so perplexing. I am hoping that I have answered your question appropriately. If you still need further information, please go ahead and let me know.

I just reread your note to me and I guess that down my initial response may not have responded to your question.

I believe that my contact list is linked to iCloud. I know that as far as my photos are concerned, my iCloud is full, however, I don’t know what that means for contacts. I also have I guess my contacts are somehow linked to Gmail as well.

with this present response, did I answer your question correctly? Lonnie.

Thank you, since I have not attempted to do a custom label since the last response in this thread, I have not had any further difficulties. After restarting my cell phone, it did seem to clear up the problem because the custom label stayed when I hit “Done,“ and it had not done that before it reverted back to the original label. I have not done anything more with the iCloud, so I don’t really know if there are additional problems that I’m not aware of yet or not.
