Phone number displayed on Yahoo contact card and screen display
I am concerned about the privacy and security of my contact card, which displays my email address and phone number in the emails addressed to me and the display on the top right hand side of the screen when I open my 'sent' emails. These features expose my personal contact information to onlookers. It is also irrational for me to view my own phone number on the contact card when the email id is already displayed. I hope Yahoo will provide an option to change the contact card display and the screen display soon.
Contact cards are private – The info you see is pulled from your address book and linked accounts. We don’t share your details with others. More info here: https://help.yahoo.com/kb/SLN25582.html

Contacts missing on upload
When I export my contacts, some of them are missing on the uploaded file. Why?????
The contacts missing are most likely those from social media. The export process adds only email addresses that were added in Yahoo Mail manually or the auto-added ones.

I'm annoyed with continuously changing my first and last name, there seems to be no updation and it shows someone else's name?????
Hello, so I'm annoyed with continuously changing my first and last name, there seems to be no updation and it shows someone else's name. Tried changing it lot many times but it shows someone else's name while sending and receiving emails. HELP!!!
The Sending Name for the account can only be changed from the desktop web version of Yahoo Mail, and not from a mobile device. Follow these steps below to change it.
In New Mail:
1. Sign in to Yahoo Mail.
2. Mouse over the Settings menu icon (Gear) | select More Settings.
3. Click Mailboxes.
4. Click on the Yahoo email account.
5. Enter a new name in the “Your Name” field.
6. Click Save.Keep in mind that other apps may have their own settings for your Sending Name such as the default Mail app on an iPhone or Android. Whatever is in place there will override what’s set up on the Yahoo account. If the wrong name appears on your emails after following the steps above, double-check the settings in the app you’re using.
Thank you!

Contacts. I have tried using the new icon for contacts but nothing will open. I really need to see my contact list and am unable.
I am unable to get to my contacts. Like others the new contact icon doesn't work and your answers to access the info somewhere else either don't answer the question about contacts or don't open at all. I really need to search through my contact list. It is the only way to find someone.

Fix the ******* Contacts list! Can't add/delete/edit people! COME THE **** ON! WHY DID YOU GET RID OF THAT FEATURE ********!
YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME! I CAN'T ADD OR DELETE OR EDIT NAMES IN THE ALLEGED "IMPROVED" YAHOO MAIL! You must really be taking the right steps to force people to gmail. Completely unacceptable that I cannot edit or add contacts like before. ******* unacceptable and I'm not a swearing person. I click on the little Address Book on the side and it takes me to the "classic" version BUT those edits are not syncing with the "new" version. **** **** ******** *******!
