Sender name in SMS messages

[Simon Redman]

Hi Jonathan,

Is this something which used to work for you?

Unfortunately I think something has broken here recently because I am no longer getting contacts either. The SMS app is in need of some love but I haven't been able to give it any recently.

If you look in ~/.local/share/kpeoplevcard, you should see a folder named like "{deviceId}-kdeconnect" which should contain .vcf files with your contacts' information. If this folder is here, unfortunately I think you're seeing the same behavior as I'm seeing and something will need to be fixed before phone numbers will resolve to contact names.

Thanks,
Simon
