Bug description

Chats search seems to query old contact name after contact is named in iOS

Steps to reproduce

• Start a 1-1 chat with a contact saved in iOS
• Rename the contact in iOS
• Search for the contact's new name in the main Signal screen

Actual result: While the displayed chat name with the contact changes, the 1-1 chat with the contact does not show up under "Chats" in the search screen when searching their new name. It does show up when searching their old name.

Expected result: The 1-1 chat with the renamed contact should show up in search under "Chats" when searching their new name.

Hi @abstractOwl

Can you try the following let me know if it resolves the issue for you?

Go to iPhone Settings > Signal and toggle contacts permissions off then back on. Restart the phone then open Signal. Refresh the contact list: open Signal, tap on the message compose icon, and pull down on your contact list to refresh.
