Family Sharing confusing my ID with my son's on his phone

Hi, I've created a family sharing account and added my son. Everything is fine on my phone but on his it is confusing our profiles. On his phone if you go to contacts under 'My Card' at the top is shows his photo but has the name Mum and all of my contact details when you access it. In settings under his profile at the top if you then go in to family sharing it has Mum (organiser) - with my details but his profile picture then his profiles is called Mum (me) Age 10 (his profile picture again) and his account details. My son's phone is an iphone 7.

Can anyone help with this?

Hello Queenie7670,

Thank you for posting to the Apple Support Communities.

The users’s name shown in Family Sharing settings can be modified. You can also change the “My Card” details for the contact card that an iPhone has assigned to the owner. The following two Apple Support articles are helpful and explain how to change these settings:

Please also be sure to update and restart all devices once the changes have been made. This last articles can help with that:

Cheers!
