Contacts Phone number isnt changing

[Quarxyz]

Yeah, having a massive problem

So, friend inputted their number with a minor mistake, (420 instead of 720). Yet while changing it, it says and displays the correct version, until i go into messages. it still displays the 420 version.

So far i've tried:
Editing the contact
Deleting the contact and making a new one
Deleting THAT contact and just going off of messages
Deleting the message group thing
Making the message thing thru contacts
Restarting (several times)

The only thing i havent tried is making a group chat n handling it through that (dont want to annoy friends even more)
and doing a system reset

Which device?
Was it saved in your Google account?
Might want to delete then turn sync off and add again otherwise go to your Google account and try changing.

Revvl V+ 5G

Was originally saved in the google account, but even tried making the new contact just on the phone (not on sim)

I'll try that though, hopefully it works. Ty!

Welcome to AC!
Try the first method if not in settings then Google tap and try editing there

I changed you to post owner

deleted contact, turned off sync, and restarted phone. Tried to put in the number as just a phone contact (not to gmail, or SIM) and it still goes in at the 420 version when i hit message in contacts.

Hmmm strange

Ok try deleting then long press contact app >tap info>storage>clear data then force stop and try putting correct number

 

[Quarxyz]

The only option i can really think of is factory resetting the phone. Not that i have anything *that* important, but the amount of things i have to re-download and sign into just isnt worth it.

 

[mustang7757]

Shouldn't have to do Factory reset , hold off on that for now

 

[Quarxyz]

attempted that, force stopped messages and contacts after deleting the contact, still displays the 420 number instead of the 720 one.

Try this in safe mode

Welcome to Android Central! Have you also tried clearing the app cache/data from the Messages app in Settings>Apps​?

 

[Quarxyz]

THANK YOU so much

Clearing app cache itself didnt work, but clearing data did.

Just gonna double check with them and (hopefully) it actually goes through

it says the right number in the conversation settings, but we'll see. Sent a message, just awaiting a reply

I didn't realize you doing this through message app , thought through contact app lol
