My iPhone displays phone numbers on incoming calls. How do I get it to display the name of the caller
2 Answers
iPhone will displays the name of the caller only if the incoming number matches with that of any of the saved contacts.
To add the person as a Contact so the caller ID displays as his/her name:
- Go to the Contacts App in your iPhone.
- Create a new contact by clicking the + icon at the top right.
- Enter a First name and other information.
- Tap the add phone (Green + icon) and add the phone number for the person. Repeat for other numbers such as Home and Work.
Now when the person calls you will see his/her name as a caller ID.
You can also do the reverse from the Phone app.
- Tap the Recents icon at the bottom.
- Tap the info icon (looks like an 'i' in a circle)
- Tap Create New Contact
- Add the person's name and, if needed, change the phone number type.
