iOS 9 No name in text message

[iMore Question]

Updated to IOS 9 but text message on locked screen only shows number and no name! Any fix for this?

If you go into your contacts, does the number have a name attached to it?

Only contacts show a name. You can add any you want to contacts. Then their name will show.

No, it has nothing to do with the number not being in contacts. This happens for people who send messages via SMS who are already in our Contacts list in iCloud.

I get +44 43672569 etc instead of "Dad", for example. When I swipe to see the message, I see "Dad".
