Hi jeannebodine,



To refresh the Phone app to the iOS, try closing the app and reopening it to test:


  1. "From the Home Screen, swipe up from the bottom of the screen and pause in the middle of the screen.
  2. Swipe right or left to find the app that you want to close. 
  3. Swipe up on the app's preview to close the app."



You can find these steps along with other information that may be helpful, here: Close an app on your iPhone or iPod touch - Apple Support


We also recommend restarting your device and keeping it updated as those steps assure you have cleared out any minor software issues and are running the most current version.
