It's a service her phone company provides. I have it too my carrier calls it "share name ID"
I can turn it on and off on my Samsung, it is called Hiya. Not sure how other phones have it.
For me it just came free with my phone plan
i had just looked that up on verizon here. you can configure it to be whatever you want (with some limits), and it's what gets sent with your phone number for caller id to compatible mobile devices/plans and to landlines with name & number caller id capability.
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...
My phone started doing this not to long ago, showered a picture and full name and everything. I'm assuming it has to do with Google and Gmail and Google fi which I have. Fuck Google. I never consented to this.
