Anyone else having this issue where you will message someone on your iPhone and create them as a new contact but when you go to your messages app on your mac it just shows up as a phone number and does not display their name?

The culprit seems to be iCloud. I have it synced on both my devices but when i go into contacts on my mac, the new contact i created doesn't show up. How do you fix this issue?

It seems it could be due to my exchange account. iCloud won't sync exchange contacts but it seems anytime i am creating a new contact it automatically sets them up as an exchange contact which doesn't allow iCloud to sync to my mac.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
