New phone (pixel 8 pro) showing up as "unknown device" in "My Wireless" page
In the past, when I switched cell phones, the AT&T account page has always immediately recognized the type of phone associated with a phone number. Thus, for example, my daughter's phone numbers each show a picture of the phone with their phone number, and when I click on that, I can see what model iphone they are currently using. Similarly, before we changed phones, my wife's number showed up with the make and model of her samsung phone and my number correctly showed a pixel 5.
My wife and I have both switched to a Pixel 8 pro. Now, instead of a picture of the phone, there is just an outline of a generic phone and phone number. When clicked on, it shows "Unknown Device"
I have two questions:
1. Should I care? In other words, does it matter if AT&T recognizes the phone? (No trouble connecting phone or using on the network).
2. Does anyone know why Pixel 8 pro not being recognized. It's no longer a particularly new phone. Bought it directly from google.
