Messages does not recognise saved contact (To xx and Maybe ...)

Has anyone found a solution to this? I'm on 18.1 RC and that hasn't solved. And yes, I have reported it.


I have tried everything suggested in these posts (and more)


Saved contact showing "Maybe:" and "To:" on iMessage notification

“Maybe” in front of contact name

The new iOS 18 has my husband's contact name saying 'Maybe'

Contact is displayed as number, and is sent to myself and the contact

Texts from a person via iMessage are coming from both their email and phone number separately

My wife’s text message are sent to me and her email.



(ps please don't tell me I can switch notification/Siri suggestions off ... that is not a solution)




iPhone 16 Pro

I’m having the exact same issue when my husband sends me a text. Notification shows “Maybe: husband to you and husband”. His contact picture appears and disappears and also he is pinned and unpinned from my favorites. Sometimes our texts are split into 2 conversations - one from his phone number one from email. Interesting that it seems to be happening with significant others - not other contacts. It’s incredibly frustrating…especially since sometimes he doesn’t get my texts.
