I've been having this annoying issue for a while where my contacts keep pulling up my mum's phone number instead of mine. I used to share an Apple ID with her years ago, but I've since had my own Apple account and phone number. The problem is that whenever I try to share my number or enter it, it defaults to hers. Even when I change my contact information, it still updates her details on my phone. I'm not sure how to fix this after all this time. Would appreciate any help!

It sounds like you're facing a syncing issue with your Apple ID. Since you've created your own Apple account, check to see if your phone settings are set to your new Apple ID. Go to Settings > [Your Name] and make sure you’re not still linked to your mum's account. You might need to log out from her account and log into yours, which could solve the issue. Also, verify your contact settings to ensure they're pulling from the correct account.
Totally agree! It’s also good to check if your contacts are synced with iCloud correctly. Head to Settings > Contacts > Accounts, and see if your own iCloud account is set up properly. That might clear up the confusion!
