Random outgoing calls from my iPhone 11

I've a strange situation. I started receiving call every other second from people all over the country saying they had a missed call from my number. There is no evidence of outgoing calls on my phone. I have no suspicious apps installed. All these calls are from regular users which I got to know when I answered a couple of those calls. They said they got a missed call from my number. I have received more than a thousand calls over the last 48 hours and still continuing.


Any ideas? Could it be a software glitch on the iPhone?

No this is not an iOS glitch.


Updating iOS on your iPhone should not change your personal details. iOS updates primarily focus on improving system performance, introducing new features, fixing bugs, and enhancing security. They are designed to preserve your personal data, settings, and information intact.


During an iOS update, your device's operating system is upgraded, but your personal data, such as contacts, photos, messages, and other information, should remain unchanged. However, it's always a good practice to perform a backup of your device before any major update to ensure that your data is safely stored.


It's important to note that while an iOS update itself should not alter personal details, it's possible that certain features or settings may be adjusted or improved with the update. In such cases, you may need to review and adjust specific settings to match your preferences after the update.


Always make sure to read and understand the update details provided by Apple before proceeding with an iOS update, and follow best practices such as backing up your device to minimize any potential risks or complications.

I have received that many calls since Saturday afternoon. Calls are going out to random numbers. I don't have those in my contacts at all. One of the recipients who called me back said it was a blank call they got from my phone. Wondering if someone somehow cloned/spoofed my SIM card... not sure. I, for sure haven't installed any suspicious apps/links and haven't registered at any website either.
