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
Hi guys, the solution is very simple.
The phone gives you a choice to choose which number will you dial when you press phone call button in contacts. It should always be mobile or home, but it is not. But actually this is ok because you can choose if there are more phone numbers in contact.
The contact number (person behind this number) has also a lot of apps that he uses for calling and your iphone recognize them(incuding other apps)… probably.
so…
solution..
go to contacts, choose your contact person… press and hold the phone call button… a new window will appear and than coose the “mobile” number.
it works for me fine, the instagram app doesnt open anymore.
Regards
I am having the same problem. When I Click on the call action on my contacts app I get redirected to Aliexpress.
The problem is what type of code these apps are using to change our default calling actions. Mr. Tim Cook if you are reading this, please consider patching the problem asap.
update: I now can not even answer calls from numbers that are not stored in my contacts. The call shows up in a banner across the top of the screen but if you click it you are redirected to Instagram
Me too regarding this disgusting issue of redirected to instagram
This worked and helped me solve this issue for a customer! Thank you very much!

This just started occurring on my phone today July 7th at around 4 in the afternoon. I’m on 16.5.1, it must have installed automatically. Last I checked, it was in the queue, but I don’t like installing immediately in case there are bugs. It appears that there are.
I’m having the same problem, I’ve had that problem on my last iPhone 12 Mini and now I have 14. What do I do to fix this?
