Displays mix of number and contact names. Used to display Names only. It's free, so I guess I get what I pay for?

    Well I tried it, it should have worked. But every time I tried to use it, it asked me to pair the phone and the computer again. Each and every time. So it is useless to me.

    I just installed it, you gave me a new avenue I didn't know existed
    Hopefully it works better (and not just on the gmail emails)

    thanks for taking the time to write this

    Forget this - typical MS bs. Just use Google messages on the web - everything works.

    https://messages.google.com/web

    Go there and pair your phone.

    It was a good suggestion! Somehow my google pixel 4 changes the labels from "mobile phone" to "MOBILE" by itself. When I change it as shown in the screenshot, then it works right away.

    Good suggestion! This won't fully solve my problem, because many of my contacts are marked as mobile and still don't show up. However, one account I'm subscribed to is an organization account that I don't control, and many of their contacts are indeed marked as other. I will ask them to change those for at least a partial solution. 👍
