Phone Link not showing Contact Names....again

Darn, the first answer didn't work for me. I even forced the app to stop and tried it all again. The outlook, reformat contacts didn't work either because my stupid contact app keeps putting the parenthesis back in??? I was able to fix it by using a different contact app.

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?

Go to your contacts in your phone and locate the contact. Edit the phone number and remove the +1 as the prefix of the number. Hit save, and the name should then show on phone link.
