My “add a new contact” from my messenger disappeared.

I have had an iPhone 12 Pro max for about a year now. Why can’t I no longer see the “add a new contact” button when I edit the number, when a new person texts me. It doesn’t allow me to share it either, I guess unless I create a new contact.

iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 17

How do I fix missing contact suggestions when sharing on new iPhone? I just ugdraded to a new iPhone and when I go to share things none of my usual Messages contacts are suggested. It's been a week and none of the people I share things with have appeared. I still see suggestions for WhatsApp and Snapchat contacts from long ago, but none for Messages. I have already gone to Settings->Apple Intelligence & Siri and turned on all of the suggestions options, including Allow Notifications and Show When Sharing. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

create contact option missing in imessagea Since upgrading to iOS 17, I can no longer create a new contact from an inbound message. Previously I could just click on “info” and then “create new co tact”, and a contact would be created from the inbound message’s number. Now I click on “info” and there is no option to “create new contact”? The page looks super glitchy.

Send Later Messages iOS 18 doesn't work with non-iPhones? Just got iOS 18 (on an iPhone 15 Pro) and what I'm seeing is that if I set a Message to "Send Later" and then in the To: field put in the name of someone in my Contacts whose number is labeled "mobile" (green texts), the Send Later indicators disappear and I can only send it immediately. If I put in the person's name first, the Send Later option isn't even available. Anyone else able to duplicate this?

I’m having this exact issue too. And it’s very frustrating, as this is a great feature.

it appears that the page starts to load…and gets stuck? Like a web page that won’t load.

not sure why this is happening or what we can do about it.
