I'm using Google messages on my Android phone, and use the Phone Link program on three different Windows computers. On two of the computers, it still works fine, displaying the names of my contacts. On the third (and newest of the three) it worked fine up until about the beginning of April, 2024. Disconnecting and reconnecting the phone to this computer didn't change anything. Deleting the number and copying it back in does work, but I have dozens and dozens of contacts! There must be a more global way of doing this? Any ideas, anyone?
Phone Link not showing Contact Names....again
Displays mix of number and contact names. Used to display Names only. It's free, so I guess I get what I pay for?
