No custom labels on contacts

Why there is no custom label in contacts

Its not part of the OS which is down to Windows... Hopefully they will add this option in a later.

Syncing custom labels within contacts

On my iPhone, I have quite a few contacts with multiple cell phones, and I have created a lot of customer labels. I've also added notes, dates, etc. When I sync to Outlook, it only syncs the first customer label (as "other"), but none of the rest. And it doesn't sync my additional fields. At one time, I lost all my contacts on my phone, and when I resynced from Outlook, all of this info was missing.
Is there a way to get this info to sync to Outlook? Otherwise, is there another application I can use to sync all of my contact info?
Thanks.

Custom Labels are not Alphabetical.
Same problem with my os7 update, and This is a huge hassle, I re-use labels constantly as I travel for work and
I have hundreds of labels in my contacts.
This is a mess.
The only Good thing I can say is that the 'new' custom label field is finally at the Top of the list of labels.
It used to be at the bottom, meaning I had to scroll thru many many labels to add a new custom label.
So they fixed the tiny little problem and gave us a Massive new problem.
Appple, Please Fix This ASAP.

Can't sort custom labels in Contacts

It used to be that when you added a Custom Lable in Contacts in iOS, it would show a sorted list of the custom labels you already made for your contacts phone numbers etc. so you could see if you've already made a custom label to avoid duplication. Now in iOS7, you can add a custom label but you have to scroll down the long list of already entered custom labels that seem to appear in no particular order. It takes a long time if you already have quite a number of custom labels. It used to be easy when they were sorted to scroll down to the labels in alphabetical order. What happened to this feature?

What happened to custom labels in contacts???

Prior to loading 4.0.2, I could differentiate between the phone numbers for a given contact by selecting Custom Label and creating a label by name. In this way, multiple mobile phone numbers for a single contact - perhaps a family - could be distinguished by the name the phone number belongs to. With 4.0.2, the ability to create a custom label doesn't appear to be available. Is this functionality gone, or am I doing something wrong.

Mine is missing also, I went to the Apple store and no body could help me. all my friends still have the custom Label, but I don't.

Getting rid of custom labels in contacts

I installed the TrueCaller app, but decided it wasn't for me, so I deleted it again. Now I have a lot of custom labels for phone numbers in the contacts app. I would like to get rid of them again.

When in an individual contact entry, tap the Edit button in the upper right. Then, tap on the custom label you want to change. Select the label you prefer.
No, there's no way of doing them all at once.
You may want to try doing it through whatever program you sync your contacts to. That might be faster.
Best of luck.

Printing custom labels from contacts

How do you print labels with a different header than just the persons name? I would like to address holiday labels to read:
"The Smith Family"
123 Cherry St.
Denver, CO 80210
Rather than the contact name only:
"Jane Smith"
123 Cherry St.
Denver, CO 80210
Can I create a field that allows me to put it as the address header rather than having to use the contacts first and last name only?

Hi gordonprop,
Thanks for the question. Based on what you stated, it seems like you want to change the name field on a label. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.

you can modify the First name field of the card

Adding Custom Labels Missing for Contact Numbers After Upgrading to iOS 8.0 and issue still exists on iOS 8.1

I noticed that after upgrading to iOS 8.0 on my iPhone 5s, adding custom labels for contact numbers got removed. It still exists on iOS 8.1 as well. Is there someone who is facing a similar issue or can someone help me how to get that back. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi Yugendra,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I have good news. You can still choose a custom label in Contacts on iOS 8. The option should be below "Other" in the list of labels when editing a contact. This information is found in the iOS 8 user guide:
Contacts at a glance - iPhone
Change a label. If a field has the wrong label, such as Home instead of Work, tap Edit. Then tap the label and choose one from the list, or tap Add Custom Label to create one of your own.
Best Regards,
Jeremy

IPhone iOS 7 "Add Custom Labels" order changed...No Longer Alphabetized!

Help! I updated my iPhone4 to ios 7 with the recent update. I love everything about it, but when trying to find a custom label in "Contacts > John Doe > Edit > Mobile" and then scrolling down under the "Add Custom Label" menu, I found out that all of my custom labels which had previously been in alphabetized order were ordered according to what I can only guess was their date of creation. With a massive list of clients and contacts from various walks of life and organizations, I created a reusable Custom Lable system since I came across that need in my line of work. After ios 7, that suddenly got rearranged. It never occurred in any other software or hardware update and I've been with iPhone since first gen. How can take my Custom Labels and return to the alphabetized order with which they were previously arranged without losing ios 7? Thanks for your help in advance.

Hi Konsultix!
Yeah, the customizable phone labels have been a real blessing up until recently. If they ever figure this out, you should give it a try. As for the lack of responsiveness which robodr mentioned, I'm not surprised. We've pretty much been an all-Apple campus at my work with computers, portable devices, & even iPhones due to Apple's history with the philosophy of user-friendly simplicity. Unfortunately, that philosophy seems to be changing towards lazy unforeseen complexity. The Mavericks switch (though free), the iWork updates, the rough iMovie launch, glitches with copier drivers resetting, the ios7 glitches, even this inexcusable lag in customer service here, all of it has my board and me rethinking our company-wide devotion to Apple including our iPhones. If we're constantly troubleshooting, then Apple's nullified their advantage in the business sector and we might as well go for the cheaper Windows product since we're still constantly wasting our time & $$ on IT. IT savings was the whole reason we convinced the board to switch in the first place. Without it, Apple might as well kiss our money goodbye. When Steve Jobs was alive, every detail was so well-thought out and customer service was at the top of its game. Now, it's been a month since I posted a problem on Apple's website and no reply. I'm glad to have this poor experience because, honestly, the timing couldn't be better. My organization's AT&T phone contracts are expiring and we might begin switching more than our provider on this campus.

How do you add a custom label to dates in contacts.....

How do you add a custom label to dates in contacts- I have multiple birthdays in contact group and want to change label through customise to add additional birthday- unless another way to add second birthday to contacts and identify each one?????? or way to link contacts with same address phone number etc but id birthdays?????

You have some contacts with more than one birthday?
To add a custom label for a date, select Edit for an existing contact. Select Add Field. Select Date. Scroll up with the Info window above the date selection and select Other for the new date selection. Select Add Custom Label and then select this label for the new date field for the contact.
As far as linking dates with multiple contacts, the answer is no to that.

i need it so muchhh!

Sort of depend on what you are trying to do precisely. In Edit mode, if you tap on any label, you will be given a list of options, plus an Add Custom Label option near the bottom of the list

IOS 6 creates custom labels and save them giving you the option to delete them.
IOS 7 creates custom labels but don't save them, so there is no need to have the option to delete them.
But here comes the problem, if you have some custom labes saved in you Iphone / Ipad with IOS 6 and you update it to IOS 7, the device will keep those labels saved, but you wont be able to delete them.
I realized this by going to contacts on Icloud. There those labels that I had on my devices weren't there. So simply restoring your device and configuring it as a new one to later sync your Icloud Contacts, will solve the problem.
I know this post is old, but I might just try this with iOS 8. I have outdated custom labels that annoy me, because I still seem them in the list as options. If I get desperate enough, I may try your solution.

Is it possible to move the "Add.." button at contacts on top of the custom label list? I add a lot of custom lables and tired of scrolling down every time.

No way to move any buttons in iOS devices.

How do I get "custom label" button back on Contacts

I used to have "custom label" button for phone number tags on contact list. It is now gone. Any way to get it back. This started on my iPhone 4 and remains on my iPhone 5.
SOLUTION FOUND !!!
Go into settings and do this:
Settings --> Mail,Contacts,Calendars --> Default account (for Contacts)--> select "On My Phone"
this restored the custom labels button when creating new contacts. Somehow it was set to 'Hotmail" and i guess Hotmail does not support customized labels so it isn't offered when creating new contacts.

That is what i a talking about. When i go to add a new contact and go to edit the label - the generic list of number types is present but the additional list of custom lables is not present - nor the button to create a new one. Some of my contacts do have the custom label present - old contacts created back when the buttons and label types were all there but it is no longer present when creating new contacts or editing contacts that were recently added.

Can you delete custom labels created in the contact list?

The subject pretty much sums up my question! Can you do this on the iPhone?

Not sure what you mean by "Custom Labels in the contact list"
But to the best of my knowledge nothing that even has to do with the contact list is customizable other than entries you put in

No custom labels on contacts
