Contact posters in iOS 17 provide a fun way to make digital contact cards for yourself and your contacts by combining images, filters, monograms, and Memojis. But while this new feature appears to be great, there are a couple of flaws, with a handful of users reporting that Contact Posters do not work on their iPhones. If you’re experiencing something similar on your iPhone, here are quick and easy fixes for the iOS 17 Contact Poster not working issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although “Contact Photo and Poster” are relatively simple to set up, there have been reports that the feature isn’t working as it should. If you recently installed Contact Photo and Poster on your iPhone but are experiencing problems, the fixes listed below should help you resolve them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before diving into the iOS 17 contact poster not working troubleshooting, ensure your iPhone supports iOS 17, as Contact Posters are exclusive to this version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Go to Settings > General > Software Update and install any available updates to ensure that your iPhone is running iOS 17.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ensure all your contacts have iPhones with the iOS 17 update installed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The following iPhones are compatible with iOS 17:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Contact Photo and Poster is an iOS 17-only feature, so it will not work on your iPhone if it runs iOS 16 or earlier. To check for new updates on your iPhone, go to Settings > General > Software Update. If an update is available, tap Download and Install to get your iPhone up to date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We recommend switching to the stable channel if your device runs a public or developer beta version of iOS 17. To do so, navigate to Settings > General > Software Update > Beta Updates and turn it off. After you have disabled beta updates, you can check for new updates from the Software Update screen and install the most recent update available to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Removing your Apple account from older devices where you’ve signed in is one of the simplest ways to resolve the Contact Photo and Poster disabled issue. Many users have reported that signing out of their Apple accounts on devices other than their iPhones permanently resolves the issue. If you have multiple iPhones and other Apple devices signed into the same account, try logging out of them to see if the problem persists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Follow these steps to sign out of your Apple account:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After you’ve signed out of your Apple account on other devices, you can see if Contact Photo and Poster works on your current iPhone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another way to resolve the Contact Photo and Poster issue is to ensure that the image you’ve added to your contact card is visible to others. To do this, Navigate to Contacts > My Card > Contact Photo & Poster > Share automatically and select Contacts Only rather than Always Ask.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you do not share your caller ID information with the people you call, the Contact Poster may not work properly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, to make it work properly, go to Settings > Phone > Show My Caller ID and enable Caller ID by turning on the Show My Caller ID toggle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you previously created a Contact Photo and Poster, but it does not appear on other people’s devices, you can try creating a new one on your iPhone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
iOS 17 allows you to set up multiple Contact Posters and easily switch between them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
