Description Ovidiu-Florin BOGDAN 2023-06-21 07:47:13 UTC 
SUMMARY
When using the Messaging app (SMS) from the desktop, all the message recipients are shown as phone number only. The contact name is not shown at all, even though the KDE Connect app on the Android phone has Contacts permission.

A name is shown only for the recipients that have names from the network (phone numbers I don't have in my agenda).

See attached screenshot.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Connect Android phone to KDE desktop via KDE Connect
2. Open SMS/messaging application

OBSERVED RESULT
SMS conversations are shown, but all recipients are shown as phone numbers.

EXPECTED RESULT
Recipients to be shown as names as they are in the address book.

Thanks for taking the time to report this and sorry for the delay.

You almost certainly need to install kpeoplevcard.

Since you mention you're using Fedora, please upvote this bug to have the kpeoplevcard package added as a dependency of kdeconnect: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2125943
