Contact Posters aren’t syncing properly and displaying on each other’s phones.
I’ve had little to no luck with contact posters so far. I created one as soon as I installed iOS 17, but it is not showing up for anyone. I also can’t see anyone else’s when they have called. A couple do show up when I look the up in Contacts though.
I’ve seen a lot of people online complaining it doesn’t work for them either. Either the feature itself is broken or whatever part of Apple's backend syncs the contact posters is overloaded.
Not a great look whatever the cause as this was touted as one of the main iOS 17 features.
Yeah I read a thread on Macrumors, and one person described the steps on how they got it to work, but no one could replicate.
The one little syncing that worked for me was that my MacBook account updated with my new contact photo.
