Big flaw in call history in ios 26 version

I have the same issue too as I have many contacts with multiple phone numbers, in the ios 26 the tag “recent” no longer shows next to the phone number when going to call log info!

However I have noticed that if you hold on the number then a menu will show up then tab on call or message and it will display the actual recent phone number ✅

Same issue on my 13 mini. Siri can fetch the logs though but it wont display in Phone app. This is frustrating as its difficult to manage who tried to call me and whose calls I missed for immediate call backs. Ughhhh

It is a design change, it will not be fixed unless Apple get a lot of feature requests.

"After updating to ios26 version for my iPhone 16 pro there is a flaw in call history. When look up for recent call received in the call history it is not showing ‘recent’ against the phone No. received when that contact has multiple Nos. Whereas in iOS 18 version it will clearly show the recent call received when we click i button in case of multiple Nos. for a contact. Will the Apple take up the issue and set it alright"

.... Also, this issue seems to be a known bug in IOS 26 and it was scheduled for a fix on the 19th of November, but it still isn’t available, so please try what I’ve shared. At the very least, you’ll get your call logs without further persisting issues.

How could you possibly know that? How about seeing what may arrive in the next update which never was set for the 19th anyway.

And if it is, as you suggest, a known bug, what was the point of all the other procedures you suggested? IOS26.1 does not show "Recent" against the recent number. Period.

and wait.

Others posted already. But if the caller ID is a truncated version from the network, it may not display. For example I save all my contacts with all country codes, but the network brings and show only local part of the number when someone calls me. Then it cannot display "recent" for it. I donna know if it was the case before iOS26 as well.

Also some others said that when filtering unknown callers is turned off, it works even before iOS26.2

Ios18 was working a lot better in this regard, "Recent" was always displayed.

“Why i don't understand apple launches updates fully public without letting public know about it, always forcasting just like huge success and assuming every iPhone owner is eagerly waiting for. Man this is pathetic[…]”

Time to Release Updates:

iPhones, just like any phone, are all based on coding. It’s not just a matter of drag and drop. So, as Apple gathers feedback, they’ll see how diverse it is from many users’ point of views. The feedback is pretty diverse in ideas, and they, themselves, have to get things strait. The only catch I’d say, is that Apple has a tendency to provide updates to the devices for 7 years, and then stops proving them. Why 7 years? Got me? So, as I commonly recommend to many on the forums: Do your part and report this to Apple.

Turning off the ‘Unknown Callers’ filtering was the only thing I did to restore the Recents list. Clearly that option is causing all numbers to be filtered from Recents and should have been fixed immediately.

iOS26.2 seems to have it fixed. But still “some” problems..
