Missing backspace key on phone keypad

I can no longer correct a wrongly entered phone number on iPhone X because there is no longer a backspace “X” key? How do I get the key back or how do I correct a typo? “X” key appears on keyboards when using in other apps.

iPhone XS, iOS 12

Try force closing the phone app and then restarting your iPhone. As an alternative method try swiping left where the number is listed at the top.
