Many
iPhone users after upgrading to iOS 11 are facing an issue in iMessage, call
logs and Message apps that when they got a call from a number that is not saved
in contact list but in the call log, under the number, a name is suggested:
"Maybe: X". The issue is seem all the time as users get a "Maybe:" in front of most
iMessage contacts and only the phone number for SMS.
This is
not a bug or issue but an intended behaviour added by Apple as iOS scans your
email for contact info. If the phone number is not in your Address Book, it
looks to your email to see if anyone with this number sent you email. If it
finds the phone number linked with a contact from your email, it will show you
"Maybe:" with its guess of the person's name.
