Ok so this has been happening since our iPhone 13s and iOS 15. Happening now with our iPhone 14s and iOS 16.0.1.

When we (me, my Mom, Dad, Sister, Brother) try to Airdrop each other, whoever we Airdrop to; our phone will show both the destination phone's name (from Settings -> General -> About) AND the contact's entry from the sending phone's Contacts.

When we select the contact it won't send. When we select the destination phone's name it does send. Anyone know how to get the contact name and phone's name to show up as just one object with either the contact name or phone's name?

We've all tried resetting network settings and have Airdrop set to Everyone.

Following. This happens every time we get a new phone it seems. Eventually it goes away.
