Deleting voicemail also delete call log

It appears that the Unified phone view in iOS 26.1 deletes the call log when you delete an associated voicemail. According to Google/AI search, this appears to be a general concern on the greater web, but I am finding no discussion of it here. When I delete a voicemail to free up space and screen clutter, I do not necessarily want to lose track of having received the call. I would like there to be an option to just delete the voicemail and retain the call log. Otherwise, I like the unified view (so far).
