iPhone redirect me to the Instagram app instead of starting a call

Hi,

When I'm trying to call someone, my iPhone redirect me to the Instagram app instead of starting the call.

The issue isn't occuring for every contact in my phone, but it happens with some contacts.

There is no way to call them and in every single try it keeps redirect me to Instagram.

I have the latest iOS 16.4.1 (a) software. any solution for this issue?

iPhone 14 Pro

Here's the fix for every version.


Do it exactly like this.


Update your phone all the way.

If updated already or after updating, restart two times.

Delete All These Apps at one time if you have them.


  • FB Messenger
  • Instagram
  • What's App
  • Signal Messnger
  • Telegram
  • Any other messaging app


Restart two times after.


(Optional)

Syn all your contacts now if you want.

Install All The Apps you deleted ONE BY ONE.

RESTART TWICE AFTER EACH APP INSTALL.


Problem Solved!


Have a great day and much love.
