Not sure if this is the right forum, but here goes...
My husband has just bought an iPhone 5 and now all the texts I receive from him show as coming from his email address and not as his name/number. They're not being delivered to my email inbox but in my messages app, rather than seeing 'Matt' at the top I see his full email address.
Is this something to do with his settings or mine? What's the solution please?
Solved! Go to Solution.

That's not worked... But then we didn't have email addresses in our contacts for each other anyway?

Yes... But it hasn't contacts...
Maybe some more context will help! Prior to his new iPhone 5 he had an iPhone 4s so all his info should have transferred straight over. I remember this happening some time ago (18 months or so) but the instructions given on various forums at the time arent relevant to the latest operating system.
Am trying to change the settings under Messages then Send & Receive, will report of that works...

Nightmare writing on this forum on an iPad, it's making really random text changes hence the missing words on my post sorry!

sounds like the facebook sync problem again, uninstall & reinstall the app, when it says would you like to sync contacts, press no

Nothing to do with Facebook, deleting and adding the app has made no difference. And anyway, I haven't got th new phone, he has, so Facebook settings shouldn't have changed for me. I think it's something to do with the apple ID...

Ahh ok - I thought I might need to keep my email on there (as well as my number) for some reason. If not, happy days! Will try it out, fingers crossed...
