Keep Your Contacts Current by Adding Siri-Suggested Content

It can sometimes be difficult to remember to update your contacts with new email addresses, phone numbers, and postal addresses. But if you’ve received that information in Mail or Messages, Siri’s data detection capabilities can help. Open Contacts on the Mac and press the Down arrow to cycle through your contacts. When you see one with information in light gray and a parenthetical like (Siri Found in Mail), click the ⓘ button to the right ➊ to see some context in the source message. If the information is correct, click Add to Contact ➋ to keep it.
