No names show on calls

[Android Central Question]

The title says it all, when Im being called, there is no name shown, just the phone number of this person, this is really annoying.
Ive been having this issue since i switched from iPhone 7 to android 9s plus

Welcome to Android Central! Are the numbers that are showing up the exact same ones saved to the person's Contact entry? Even a slight difference might make it unidentifiable (like the presence or absence of a country code).

Also, go to Settings>Apps, and select the Phone app, then Permissions. Is Contacts permission turned on?

It does sound like a simple setting and has to do with contact permissions
