I'm unable to find the name of my family member/ friend from my contacts to add as emergency contact?

It has been observed that users often save the contact numbers under a nickname or alias names by which the person is popularly known within closed circles. We have also come across instances wherein the names have been stored in a vernacular language such as the user’s mother tongue. Users are requested to take such instances into account.

My emergency contact name is visible while searching in the emergency contacts list. However, the preferred number is not visible?

In case the contact has multiple mobile numbers, users are advised to save the preferred number independently so that the same can be made available for tagging as the Emergency contact.

Yes. The same tags can be used multiple times.
