  Subject: When adding a contact, question regarding label choices

   

  Hello everybody,

  I have a question regarding when adding contacts, and using a label for that 
contact. Such as, mobile.
  I don't understand why some of these options are in here has choices. I know 
maybe it's not really a big deal. But is something that bothers me.
  Wire for instants do we have a choice of radio?

  I have course can understand choices like home, and mobile. But I don't 
really get home fax as an option, because it's not as though you can send a fax 
from your phone. Or maybe you can now days, and I just don't know that. I also 
don't get the car option, because nobody I know has had a car phone for years!
  There might be some other options that are puzzling to me. But these are the 
ones I can think of at the moment.

  What the thing I really don't like, is this. Why don't they have the option 
for iPhone as a choice, anymore?
  They took that option away a couple of versions back. Then they returned it, 
I think when we got version 10. But I don't remember exactly. Now it is gone 
again. I don't like this at all!

  I like my contacts to be organized properly. I'm very picky about this, and I 
know it!
  But if somebody has an iPhone, I want their number listed as an iPhone. If 
they have an android, that's fine if it is mobile.

   

  But I do not like listing someone who I know has an iPhone, with the mobile 
label. I know this sounds silly. But this is just my choice, and the way I want 
to be able to do things.

  Does anyone know when this option might return? Or if it will return at all?
  Thank you,

  Terri

RE: When adding a contact, question regarding label choices

2016-11-06 Thread Chip Orange 
Richard,

 

One reason for the Iphone label is that it enables Iphone specific features 
such as advanced Imessage features, Facetime, and Sharing location.

 

To see this just open a contact where you have labeled one of their numbers as 
Iphone and you’ll see choices involving Facetime; then open a contact which 
doesn’t have an Iphone label used, and you won’t see any Facetime options.

 

As for someone saying you can’t send a fax fromyour Iphone; I’d have a look at 
the app store before I was sure of that, I thought I saw a faxing app there 
(and of course, it’s just nice to have such numbers in the directory0.

Well, asking why won't get you very far since there is no answer to "why" that 
can be trusted unless it comes from Apple.

Also, to me, those labels are some irrational hold over from a time long, long 
ago.

I've seen the iPhone option at times, but at other times it isn't there.

Sometimes the default is Home Fax, which I agree is silly; then other times the 
default is home.

Then again, sometimes there is a custom option where you can write your own 
label.

Personally, I think some Apple engineers are just too lazy to fix the labels 
from whatever ancient template they are using.

I hope to be a part of a conversation with a senior Apple engineer in a couple 
of weeks. I'll see if I can get an answer from him.

Just be assured that you are not the only one scratching their head over these 
strange labels in contacts.

Later,

Richard
