Somehow all of my husbands contacts ended up in my phone. I’m guessing our phones synced or something. Anyone know how to fix it? It’s getting annoying because obviously both of us have our parents listed as mom and dad and there have been several times I’ve gone to text my mom or his and found myself texting the wrong person. Oh I have an iPhone 8 Plus.

That sounds so annoying. I’m sorry and I hope you can get it fixed.
As a side note, I just asked my husband if he had “mom” for his mom or her name because I have everyone listed by name and thought it was odd that you and your husband both put mom and dad. Apparently I’m the odd ball because he said he would put mom. However, he said, “but we wouldn’t have this problem because I would put ‘mum’ and you’d put ‘mom’”. Lol.
Do you share an Apple ID/password? We, not knowing you shouldn’t, did for several year and had no issues until the same thing happened to us. We did an update and it was like the phones merged, I had his, he had mine. It took an extremely long phone call with AT&T and us creating two new, separate Apple Ids to sort it. I feel your pain:(
This happened to us too. I just went though and changed our four Mom and Dad contacts to their first names and last names since those were the main ones causing problems and left the rest.

Your parents are listed by their names in your phone? This is so weird. lol

I was thinking this was weird too because I think its weird that my DH puts full names for everyone including his mom and even ME! Like, my full first name and last name. I have him in my phone under his nickname, haha.

This makes me glad Dh has never had an Apple phone. I do, but never had a problem since it’s just me. Good luck sorting it out! Our parents are in my phone as mom last name and dad last name. That way I don’t accidentally text the wrong one. Dh has them in his phone as first name last name, I think.

I would do that but I also want to get this fixed because I do not care to have my husbands 50 million business contacts in my phone.

Ha. Your husband and a I think alike. Every entry in my phone is first and last name. Husband and parents included.

Mine are the same. I do have a couple who are first name only, as I either didn’t know/couldn’t remember their last names when I entered them or I couldn’t remember how to spell it. oddly enough, they’re people I contact frequently now, but I’ve never taken the time to finish their contact info.
I do have my H also listed as ICE for emergencies.
