sharing a contact with someone using an Android shared ALL of my Contacts.

Is there a “glitch” in the system? Has anyone had this problem?

Contacts not sharing from my iPhone I have several internet accounts on my iPhone and my mac. I noticed that quite often there were contacts missing from my mac, so I investigated what was going on. One of my Google accounts, one that was set as my default contact source for a while has many more contacts on the phone than on the server. These contacts appear nowhere else other than on my iPhone, they aren't pushing to the server and therefore not propagating to my Mac. The server and my Mac agree that there are 57 contacts, while my iPhone has 405 contacts for this account. I have several other places with contacts, like my iCloud and other Google accounts, but only this one is broken.

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]

Sharing contacts from iphone via WhatsApp Since yesterday, I have been unable to share contacts from any of my iphones via WhatsApp. When I am viewing a contact and hit 'share contact' and then select WhatsApp the screen view reduces slightly in size momentarily and then returns to normal with nothing seeming to have happened. i.e. I cannot select a WhatsApp group or person to share the contact with. Does anyone know why this might be happening?

Unlike some Android devices, contacts are neither stored locally on an iPhone nor in SIM. They are synced to an email account that you had Google, iCloud, AOL, Exchange, Outlook, Yahoo or any Other

You may have to log into the email client server and download the contacts through a web browser and then share it.

If you have a corporate email account added through a profile on your device, please check with your organisation's system administrator.
