Hi folks. I have a contacts problem that has been driving me nuts for a while. My partner and I both have contacts in the Address Book app on the Mac. We have three lists - one for each of us and the 'all contacts' list. On my iPhone under Settings > Mail, Contacts, Settings there is a section under the Contacts section entitled 'My Info'. This displays the three address lists but there's no way to select which one you want to see when you are in apps that utilise the contacts list (e.g. Messages & Phone).
If I go to the Contacts app on the phone, I can select which address book I want to see. This means that when I am in the phone app I only see the contacts listed under my name rather than all contacts. However, when I go to 'Messages', this isn't replicated and instead I see all my partner's contacts as well. I can't find a way to select just my address book for Messages.
I can't delete my partner's address book in iCloud as it then edits it on the Mac and there's no way in iCloud to select just to use one of the lists. This was also a problem before iCloud too though when I was syncing with the Mac.
Grateful for any advice you can offer and hope my post makes sense!!
