Email contacts automatically being added to my phone!

I know this was a problem for many, and I'm wondering if it's been definitively resolved yet. Gmail is automatically putting the email addresses for anyone I email onto my phone. The only contacts I want on my phone are those I add manually. As for the solution of deleting contacts in my phone through my Gmail account, that isn't a solution as it wipes out all contacts, including those I put in by hand. So how do I fix this? I need to delete email contacts and make sure they are no longer being added to my phone contacts. I have an iPhone 6s in case that makes any difference.

iPhone 6s Plus, iOS 12
