Hi chali999,


Thanks for checking that and keeping us updated.


You say you can't see it on the person's contact card but you see it in Recents. Do you have to click on the (i) information icon in Recent calls to see the Social Media information? We want to make sure we're clear on where you see this.


In the meantime, it's possible that what you're seeing is part of Siri Suggestions. If you've connected with this person over Social Media, it may be making the connection to the contact when you open the Phone app. Check out this resource about Siri Suggestions and see if you can make adjustments to stop that from being shown in Recents: Siri Suggestions on iPhone - Apple Support


To get started, head to:


  1. Settings
  2. Siri & Suggestions


Hope that helps.

Take care!
