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
iPhone 16 Pro, iOS 26
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 ✅
Open your Phone app->tap Calls->tap the three lines icon at the top right of the screen->tap Classic. It’s not a flaw, it’s Apple’s new “Unified” call log. Switch back to Classic and you should be okay.
Whether it is classic or unified version, the call history must show which is the recent call number from a particular contact which is saved with mutiple numbers in the contacts app. I hope that I have explained the missing feature in ios 26 update under call history. It is giving the time of the calls received but not identifying the recent call number. One has to go round about to find the recent call number from a contact which is saved in the contacts app with multiple numbers
I am using an iPhone 14 Pro Max, and after upgrading to version 26.0.1, I’ve been experiencing the following issues:
Recent Contact Details Not Showing:
The phone history intermittently appears empty. When I try to save a new contact, it doesn’t appear in the “Recent Contacts” list. This becomes critical in emergency situations when I need to access recent contact details quickly.
Message Delays (Airtel eSIM):
I am using an Airtel network with an eSIM. Since the upgrade, text messages are either not received or take a long time to arrive. I contacted Airtel and even replaced the eSIM, but the issue persists. Airtel support mentioned it could be a software-related issue. This problem was not present in iOS 18. Additionally, I have to restart my phone to receive messages, and OTPs are often delayed, which is very inconvenient.
Intermittent Phone Hanging:
The phone occasionally hangs or freezes. This issue also did not occur in iOS 18.
I’ve reported this, not fixed in 26.1 b4.
I was wondering if I’m the only one, but I relieved when I saw your post.

Even I have this bug. Recent call logs show empty especially after missed calls. Workaround for this bug I feel is turning off Filter for unknown callers in phone settings. I hope it works.
Go to settings- apps- Phone- Turn off unknown callers filter. Hope it helps
the issue in ios 26 is there but issue in ios 26.1 is more consistent, couldn’t able to know who called you if i miss the call
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. loads of flaws in iphone like, recent call logs lost, heating issue, lagging with mine iphone 14. I guess i had to think over iphone to motorola I guess or buy some old blackberry again to be little bit for easier.
I too have reported this issue and submitted to apple. There is no update it. Also, if you have multiple lines in the notes section of a contact entry in your address book, it doesn't scroll up/down smoothly.

iOS26.2 seems to have it fixed. But still “some” problems..
Please could you post a screen shot where 26.2 fixed it, showing the word "Recent" against the last number used, because I can't see it on mine.
Very good question. I have also noticed this. Its a big problem in this update
Very good. I have also faced this issue. It is quite frustrating.
I am facing same problem but what is solution ?
Iam also facing this issue. When we start to type the name, non recent calls start to appear with similar names. This is frustrating sometimes
Mine is also not working in ios26.1
Big flaw in call history in ios 26 version
