B. Clear "Other" Storage:

Caches are likely getting in the way here. So, clear the storage named "Other". It basically contains unnecessary files such as caches that are used for system ease of use - all of which gather over time: How to Clear "Other" in your iPhone's Storage - Use Backup - User Tips. Caches would be being used for remembrance of application use. So, clearing other may be the way to go about this. It would be performed through use of a computer.

Reset to Factory Settings:

One thing to consider is to restore the iPhone to factory settings. All this automatic redialing should be rid of. Use of this Link: Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to Factory Settings - Apple Support. Important - back up first, as mentioned in that link.

Important:


On the iPhone Both Before and After the Reset:

Enable different iCloud settings(i.e. Contactsand Photos) on your iPhone, so that they are restorable, after the reset...

  1. Go to: Settings
  2. Tap: Your Name (Top Item)
  3. Tap: iCloud
  4. Tap: Contacts [and/or other settings] (so that it is green in-color)
  5. All Should be Accessible.


All the best.
