Contact phone number type

My contacts phone number type changed from iphone to home, Everytime I change it back it automatically go back to home. I don't think anyone has a home phone now, even if they did why would you program this to auto correct what a user what to list their contact # as? How can I change this?

Repeatedly restoring deleted phone number for a contact on iPhone I have repeatedly deleted the phone number info for one of my contacts on my iPhone, but after I save the changes, the info is immediately restored. What's happening? I have changed it in Gmail, I cloud, updated to the new iOS , and signed in and out of my Apple ID. What else can I do [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Phone-Type Designations Next to Phone Numbers in Contacts All Changed to "Phone" I had a designation next to every phone number in my contacts as to what type of phone number it is (mobile, home, work, etc.). A couple weeks ago, I noticed that all of these designations have been changed to just "Phone". So, if I had two numbers for someone (mobile and home for example), they are now both just labeled as "Phone". This change was visible on my iPhone and MacBookPro, but all the correct designations were still there when I looked online in my icloud account. I was hoping it was a software-update bug and would be fixed. But as of today, even in my online icloud account they all just say "Phone." I am curious if this is happening to other people, and if there's a way to restore the designations. My iPhone is a 12 Pro Max running iOS 17.2.1 My MacBook Pro is a 2015 running 12.7.1

Unable to change 'My Number' in All Contacts on iPhone The 'My Number' in All Contacts is wrong. It shows the eSIM original number but I transfered my own number. I tried going into Settings/Phone/My Number but it appears that is locked and I cannot change it. Restart the phone does not appear to be solving the problem. Any further thoughts?

Hello,

Edit your contact card and remove your home phone number:

Manage and delete contacts on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Good luck.
