Is there a way to see the call history for a specific contact without having to scroll all the way through all my recent calls? Would love to have their history paired with the contact itself in my contacts.
iPhone XR
I'm not interested in having to research this with my carrier any time I want to know some history. The data is in my phone (until I chose to delete it), it's just not conveniently sorted and accessed.
I'm looking to do this right on my phone at the point in time where another unknown number call has just come in (when did this number last call me, and how often?) It's a way of guarding against someone being stalker-ish, or reviewing how often someone has tried to reach me (or vice versa.) I could do it easily on my previous phone (an ancient flip phone!) Each number still in 'recents' had a single tap link to all connected history for the same number (completed in or out, and missed calls.) If a contact had multiple numbers, clicking the most recent call log history tag pulled up all the related calls in a list as far back as the recent file went (usually about 30-60 days worth.)
It seems as though Apple doesn't see the value in having the recent call data sorted and available by number, despite how easily it could be done with a bit of software. I've submitted the feedback. If there isn't anther easy way to do this, I guess I'll be considering Android phones further.

I've had my first iPhone for less than a week, and the weird organization of recents and history is already making me crazy. Doing a search here and elsewhere, it's obvious this is an issue for a lot of folks.
I have submitted my feedback (your link is for website feedback, but it has a redirect to the product feedback page.)
My follow-up question -- has anyone found an app that organizes call history info differently?
As I said, I've already _submitted_ the feedback.
I find that workaround ponderous for reasons I explained.
Since a search on this subject indicates that many folks would like this, I was hoping someone knew of a 3rd party app that would track/sort recent calls for this feature. I guess not.

Being able to view call history for specific contacts is a great idea! While this is not possible, we encourage you to leave your feedback: Feedback - Apple.com Website - Apple

The simple answer is you can’t do what you want on an iPhone.
I’ve given you a workaround.
JessS19 has given you a link to request that Apple provide this as feature.
Your carrier’s user portal has an 18 month call history. Some carriers let you sort it.
