Huge concerns on a FaceTime bug

I called FaceTime to my partner but redirecting to an unknown person. Later I received an iMessage text from my partner ask me to stop calling which was apparently sent from that unknown person as it is not appeared on my partner’s iPhone. Surely people got annoying too when kept receiving my FaceTime call.

THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE THAT COULD LEAK PERSONAL INFORMATION! Imagine I called to an unknown person but not realised then talked about personal information... The unknown receiver can see my email/phone number when received my FaceTime call, whilst I have no idea who that is.

Thanks for reminding. Checked the contact detail of my partner, there is an old number that my partner used many years ago when travelling abroad and I didn’t delete it in my partner’s contact. Never noticed it as I cannot tell what number I am calling from the FaceTime Interface and never had this issue for years until that old number might be disabled and assigned to a new customer recently. It would be good if FaceTime can show which number is call to.
