Friend Updates His Messages Photo & Contact Number. I Accept. It Keeps Asking Me to Accept Over & Over

One of my friends on Messages updated his contact photo and his name. I accepted it by clicking on the drop down menu, and clicked "Accept Photo and Contact" or something to that effect. Then, every time I open the Message app, even though I've accepted the new photo (which does appear) and accepted the new name (which also appears) it continues to ask me to update changes.


It is very annoying. What is going on?

Hey Fitchdog,


First, we'd recommend restarting your Mac to see if that helps as sometimes a simple restart can resolve these issues: Shut down or restart your Mac - Apple Support


We'd also suggest reviewing this article for viewing and editing Contacts on your Mac to see if that helps: Update contact information in Contacts on Mac - Apple Support


To narrow the issue down further, you may also want to test to see if the issue occurs in safe mode. This article explains how: Use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support


Thanks!
