Incorrect information in the Modern SharePoint contact card

Have discovered an issue with the modern contact card on SharePoint.  For many of our users, the job title shown in the contact card is displaying an historic value (see jpg below).  When we check this through Outlook/Skype/Delve, they are all showing the correct value(s).

 

 

 

 

Has anyone come across this before or is this something that needs to be logged with Microsoft support?

 

Thanks.  Dave

      maxpetter I did

       

      The issue was that I had a separate contact record within my Outlook for this same user which hadn't been updated for some time.  The info from the contact was being displayed, rather than the info from the SharePoint user profile.  

       

      Once I deleted the contact record in Outlook, all started displaying correctly

        Thanks for your quick response!

         

        So weird. I don't have any of the contacts stored seperately in my Outlook. I'm wondering if maybe they have to login to Sharepoint first before the job title updates. Hmm..

      Multiple employees affected.   The Job Titles are being changed frequently.

       

      It's strange, I add a People webpart and select the employees - it displays the correct job title.  When I hover over the employee photo to bring up the contact card, the job title is different
