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 just checked and PhoneLink isn't showing names anymore!!! Just numbers. Too weird. I took the phone away from the house last night and so the Link was broken. I wonder if the problem is innate to the sync algorithm being used; i.e. the sync'd names are lost and not re-synced after working once. This problem never occurred with me until about 12 months ago. Maybe Long Covid? Damn frustrating when you need the keyboard for a message.
where can I get "Messages by Google"?
messages.google.com
Thank you Peter
The fix is temporary. It is unclear to me how long it lasts but I was seeing names for at least two weeks but it reverted back to no showing today. I went through the disconnect/reconnect process and it is working again. This seems like a common problem that is not getting Microsoft's attention.
