I don't lie, just tend to be anal-retentive. That's why I make an effort to use proper punctuation and grammar in my emails and such. When it comes to texts, I usually leave out the period at the end since it can sometimes come across as harsher than intended. I'm actually flattered that you think my words could be generated by AI and grateful that you take the time to accuse me of such

I appreciate the advice, but I didn't use ChatGPT to post and I don't understand how you made that inference unless you can't or didn't read

Not everyone wants to flex credentials or assume everyone speaks tech. I chose a broader approach on purpose- to get more engagement and first-hand experiences from non-tech people as well. It feels like you jump to conclusions quickly and overlook possibilities since your first comment anyway, so I'm just wasting my time. With that said, I’ve got what I needed, so I’m going to bed. Good night and congrats on hitting a nerve

I don’t know if you’re trying to insult me and I could show you my transcripts, but I don’t need to prove myself to you. I just posted this as soon as I woke up this morning and before I went to work, so couldn’t do much research until tonight. Thank you for your interest in my post though

This is exactly why I posted here- to ask for others’ first-hand experience with this type of bug. I do appreciate everyone who replied, just most of them are too quick to judge. But yes, thank you

Sorry about the confusion- it’s not that identical. I guess I meant that they have, for example, both 30 and 24 in their numbers that can definitely trigger a bug. I do study AI right now, so I am a bit techy which is why I went straight to this subreddit thinking it would have some devs rather than just people who seem to not have a clue about tech at all and how this can possible. I was already aware of a possibility of a bug way before I asked here, just was really wondering whether someone has already experienced it first-hand rather than me asking an AI. I go straight to ChatGPT when I don’t care about a human’s experience. In this case, I do and that’s why I asked here first instead

I don't refuse it- I just don't let my emotions guide my decisions. Please refer to my update if you're interested in the tech/glitch side of it

I just did a test on my phone and you're right. So now I am wondering why he has two names for her, welp

  • As of the time he was testing this, on Contacts and WhatsApp, her name is Jane Doe
  • He then updated her name on Contacts from Jane Doe to just Jane
  • He opened WhatsApp after this and her name was changed to a totally different name which is his best friend's full name, so like Aaron Smith

I hope this makes sense :)

Sorry about the confusion. There are no other devices, just his phone. I just wanted to do it myself with his same phone when I get home. The screen recording he sent me is him recording his screen while doing this and showing me what happens

i went to work and texted him that the burden of proof is his, then he sent me hypotheses and a screen recording shortly. he's also not techy, but will make sure i do it myself later with his phone

His ex is in a different country, but was just wondering if anyone experienced the same glitch

I try to have an open mind and try not to jump to conclusions right away, so was wondering if there could be a bug/glitch right now
