I just met my new neighbor for the first time, and when we exchanged numbers (by me texting her number) my phone (Pixel 8) showed her full name with a tilde in front of it below the phone number. She’s not in my contacts. Where did it get that name from?

      Huh, interesting! First time I’ve seen that. Then again, I guess it’s the first time I’ve texted someone new in a while…
