Hi. Whenever I create a new contact, I sometimes change the field name using the Custom field and create a new label name to an appropriate one.
Lately, when I go to a contact, the Custom field only shows Custom, not the name I created. I don't want to change all of them if they revert to Custom.
It would be great to know what caused it and prevent it from happening again.
Yeah, it was convenient. Samsung should have never changed this feature. I'd love to know what their thought process was. However, I just tried something and it seems to work....
My contacts are synced to Google so as a test, I edited one person in my Google contact list and created a custom label for their phone. Saved it, and the custom label now appears on my cell, and it looks like it will remain. We'll see.
I just noticed this about a week or so ago ,myself. Like John F2 said, I've done the same and it stayed. I just can't figure out how it changed or why. I had an old phone (Note 10) still laying around, so I turned it on, disabled the wifi and my contacts didn't change. I was able to download my contacts, but since then, I've added 42 more contacts. I'll have to compare them and add them back. Then figure out the 42 I added, which is far better than going through 1300 contacts 1 by 1 and fixing them!
Apparently Samsung removed the "CUSTOM" Label. However, I still have this option on my S23 Ultra.
The option to add custom labels for phone numbers in contacts is now gone. What happened? Cannot find any way in settings to restore the option. Ultra 23 user.
Yes, the label feature is available in Gmail contacts. However, the Samsung version of contacts has always allowed for a custom label. But, the last couple of updates have apparently eliminated that feature.
