Hello gaylene69,
That's definitely unusual behavior. While this may just be a one time thing, there are a few things you can do to make sure your iPhone is running the way it should.
First, if you have not done so already, please make sure to restart your iPhone by following these steps: Restart your iPhone - Apple Support.
“1. Press and hold either volume button and the side button until the power-off slider appears.
2. Drag the slider, then wait 30 seconds for your device to turn off. If your device is frozen or unresponsive, force restart your device.
3. To turn your device back on, press and hold the side button (on the right side of your iPhone) until you see the Apple logo."
Also, make sure that your iPhone is fully updated: Update your iPhone or iPad.
“1. Back up your device using iCloud or your computer.
2. Plug your device into power and connect to the internet with Wi-Fi.
3. Go to Settings > General, then tap Software Update.
4. If you see more than one software update option available, choose the one that you want to install.
5. Tap Install Now. If you see Download and Install instead, tap it to download the update, enter your passcode, then tap Install Now."
If this is only happening with one single contact, consider deleting and recreating that specific Contact Card. Follow this article for guidance: Manage and delete contacts on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support.
We hope this helps. Let us know if we can assist with anything else at all. Take care.
