(Null) At the end of the contact name. - Apple Community
April 12, 2022 - ... Since this only happens with the one contact, and only when it is copied and pasted, most likely there is something in that data causing the issue. Typically, "null" will appear when the device is looking for some data to fill in a field, but is not finding it.

Phonelog: missed call "NULL" name and number
- Why didn't the phone do anything (ringing/vibrating, missed call notification) when apparently somebody tried to call? NULL means hidden number. Kind of expected that one :-) A programmer can understand this, obviously, but from an end user perspective it is not very meaningful.

r/ios on Reddit: (Null) is using camera access to control connected cameras. Error message.
November 5, 2020 -
(Null) is using camera access to control connected cameras.
I searched it up, and really didn’t find much help. Is my camera being hacked or something? I don’t remember the exact error message, this text is copied from one on the internet, but I think mine said something along the lines of this, and access to photos too. I’ve heard stories of this happening on computers and such, so if I get this on my phone, should I be scared? I’m literally trying to hide my face from my phone right now, even if this doesn’t mean what I might think it does, this is worrying.

Every iOS App needs to ask permission to access the users camera before access is being granted, there must be some or other bug either within iOS or the developers app that is not supplying the name of the app to the alert message being shown. The “null” is basically where you would normally see the apps name. You can go into settings / privacy / camera to get a list of every app that has requested permission to use the camera. Maybe you will see “null” there too. You can switch deny permission there to a specific app by switching the switch to off. It is highly unlikely that someone is watching you so I wouldn’t worry too much, more than likely just a bug.

Hi gillescoens,So my understanding is that you found in your iPhone's settings an app that doesn't appear anywhere else. You don't know what it is and are concerned with your data security, is that right?It is hard to say where this came from, but it is possible that this is just an app that was incompletely synced. I would suggest that you re-sync your iPhone with iTunes on your computer to see if the issue resolves itself. This article shows how - Sync your iPhone, iPad, and iPod with iTunes using USB.Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.Sincerely.

I had a similar issue just now after upgrading my iPad 3 to iOS9 but was due to a NewsStand App. Fixed it using a combination of the comments inRe: "Null" app can't be deletedRetracing my steps:1. Upgraded to iOS92. As 'NewsStand' has been discontinued a new Folder with all my old NewsStand Apps appeared.3. As I had no more need for these deleted all these apps & folder4. Then just happened to see the same (null) app under main Settings Page as the OP Joeden19465. Then from 'Settings' clicked through 'General --> Storage & iCloud Usage --> Storage: Manage Storage' 6. Scrolled down (as have many ,many apps this took a while) but found the null icon and tried to 'Delete App'.7. Restarted Settings but (null) app was still there - (maybe should have tried a hard reset to see if it had disappeared)8. Repeated steps 5 & 6 and found a version number 2.1.739. Ran a Google search on 'version 2.1.73 ipad' and had seen halfway done the list 'BBC Good Food Magazine' - one of the apps I deleted in step 3.10. Redownloaded app, opened up 'BBC Good Food Magazine', ran 'restore purchases' (but had none), iPad froze and automatically rebooted.11. After reboot went back to 'Settings' and (null) app no longer there. Yippee!!!12. Repeated step 5 and found the app 'BBC Good Food' and deleted it.iPad 3, iOS9
