I corrected the “My Card” on the iPhone by going to Settings/Contacts/My Info and then chose the correct person. I am very strict about having my information correct, for medical reasons, and no one else has access to my devices.īy digging deeper, (and sleeping on it), I found that I was ‘part-of-the-way’ out of the hole when I had deleted the dummy Contact, BUT, for reasons beyond my knowledge as to why, the Contacts db did not propagate the correct “My Card” setting from my iPad to my iPhone, even though they most definitely DO share the same account. Their ideas didn’t fix things either, BUT, it, (and y’alls advice), set me on the right track.įirst, nobody knows WHY the “My Contact” on my iPhone changed to the dummy account. They didn’t think so, but DID offer up a thing or two to check. I contacted CardHop to see IF MAYBE the issue was their beta. Tap Reset > Select Reset Networking Settings.Some people have reported that resetting network settings to defaults can clear up some types of sync issues. Now, your iCloud contacts should sync back afresh on your iPhone. Go to Settings > Apple ID > iCloud > Turn the Contacts toggle on.If you’ve examined your contacts database on and it looks good then on’t worry, your data is safe. You will be asked to delete or keep previously synced contacts.Go to Settings > Apple ID > iCloud >Turn the Contacts toggle off.But there’s another way to do that, discussed below. Not so: although you can delete the Contacts app, iOS retains the database for use with the Phone app (which cannot be deleted). If your iCloud contacts data is accurate (which, as the canonical location for the data, it should be), one might think the Contacts app (and its data) could be deleted then repopulated from iCloud, then the app could be re-downloaded. I think the iOS contacts/Contacts database may be having issues. It seems to me, that since both devices are apparently on the same iCloud account, and SHOULD sync, some ‘em is asleep at the wheel, (which could very well be me at this point). Not running any beta anything, other than CardHop. Logged out of iCloud, (saved data to phone). So, bottom line, any thoughts on WHY, first, going to on my IPad does not get me to the login screen, and second, why is my dummy contact showing up as “My Card” on my phone? If I go to on my phone, it goes straight to Find My Phone, and ask for a login, which I tried, it works, AND SHOWS not only my iPhone, but my iPad too. If I check my Health App, it is all correct. If I go into CardHop on my iPhone, and search for me, there I am, and everything is correct. If I step back out of there and go to Contacts, “My Card” has a dummy name that I have in my Contacts, and the dummy information for that dummy contact. On the iPhone, if I go to Utilities/Settings/ yep, that’s my mug on the iCloud account, and again, all the information looks correct. If I go to on my iPad, it gives me the screen that I post the other day, (which doesn’t make since, and has given me that screen for awhile now). If I go to CardHop on my iPad, which is syncing again with Contacts, I guess because I downloaded their latest beta yesterday from TestFlight, there is my mug and proper information. If I step back out of there, go to Contacts, “My Card” has all the proper information and my mug. Verified by going to Utilities/Settings/ yep, that’s my mug on the iCloud account and all the information looks correct. My iPad shows that I am logged into the proper iCloud account.
