Default incoming call appearance

[kecinzer]

With new contacts card there are changes in incaming calls screen.
In iOS 17 beta 3 I mentioned, that I can see only first names when someone calls me and no photo. I don't want to edit every single concats. Is there some default settings for this?

Nah I’m pretty sure it’s based on what the contact is sharing. You’ll probably see plain gray screens until the general public has the option to set their stuff up.

Also seeing this problem, and the issue is that I'm only seeing first names with people calling from non-iOS devices. If I'm getting a call from an Android user, I'd like to see more than the first name when they're calling, and that's not going to change because they set up a contact card.

True. Should be interesting to see how this develops cross-platform.

Exactly my situation. So there is no chance to configure this?

Check what your contact display settings are

Changing mine to show full names always shows full names, regardless of origin of call.

That seems to have improved matters - "Short name" is what I had to change although it doesn't give me the option of Full name, best I can do is 'Firstname & last initial' or 'First initial & last name', which is not perfect, but better.

I turned "Short Name" off. We'll see if that works.

It could be better.

This is going to suck if it can't be easily changed. On my work (hospital) iPhone, I have people's titles and unit in their name field so I quickly know where they are calling or texting from. I need to see all of it.

Can you disable incoming contact cards and always use what you set, instead of what they pick?

I have an issue that is slightly related to this. Im using the latest iOS 17 developer beta and when I get a call when the screen is locked, I dont have the accept/reject buttons anymore. It’s only “slide to answer”.

Is that the correct thing? I guess i do have the “Message” and “Voicemail” button which does the same thing. Just wondering if that’s how it is supposed to be.

That's always how it has worked. The slider is used to prevent unintentional screen taps while the device is locked, possibly in a pocket, bag etc.
