How can I fix Contacts app double name issue on iOS 18.5?

This morning I updated the iPhone to 18.5.

In the Contacts app I found the names also entered in the last name field, so the contact is shown with a double name.

For example, Rossi F****o became Rossi F****o F****o because the name also got stuck in the field of the surname.

Am I the only one?

Possible solutions?

Thank you.

There is no iOS 18.5.1. Also, I just tested my iCloud contacts and was able to edit a poster for a contact. Finally, this is a user to user support forum and Apple does not participate here. They will not see the comment you made about fixing.


What troubleshooting have you tried so far? User troubleshooting begins with turning the iPhone off and back on again. If that does not help, the next step is to do a Force Restart. Force restart iPhone - Apple Support

Are you using iCloud or some other mail account to sync your contacts?
