Ever since upgrading to #iOS26, I keep getting this pop-up showing my husband's name at the top of my phone. When tapped, it reveals his contact card, where my ONLY option is to edit the card. I can't swipe left/right/up to get out of it. I can get it to go away by hitting the power button. His phone is in the same house, but probably 25 feet away. Smells like NameDrop but not quite. Ideas? Bug or feature?

@podfeet “Connected”… anything to do with personal hotspot?

@richardpiazza Tested the theory by connecting his phone to my phone using its hotspot and it popped up with a request to allow him to connect. So I can't be it. Good idea though!

@richardpiazza Interesting thought. I do keep my hotspot active, and he’s probably (intentionally) connected to it on his Mac in the past. I assumed it was his phone connecting in some way but technically it just says him, not his phone, could be his Mac? I’ll have to think how to test. Thanks for the idea!
