Most Recently used number of contacts are not highlited or indicated

Befor the update to ios 26.0 the last used number of a contact which has more than one telephone number was highlighted in red.

now i only see the name of the contact but not the particular highlited number he or me used. Is there a way to get this Feature back?

Thank you!

Workaround:

It is possible with a workaround:

if you record more than one number under the same contact you must give the number a separate label like iPhone or telephone ,Home, office, then it shows up in the list of calls: and you see the particular lable. (If you just add a number to the contact using the same label, it is not possible to tell one number from the other in the list of calls.)

maybe it’s not clearly written what I mean so I try to explain:

if you have a contact e.g, John Smith

and you have more than one number under this contactcard : e.g. iPhone one number “123…” and the other number iPhone two “ 345..”

and John Smith calls me I see on the iPhone “John Smith” when i tap the name I formerly I see one of the numbers in red color so I know from which number he called me. But now in 26.0 all the numbers are written in the same color and it’s impossible to see from which number he called me. Can I activate this feature somehow ?
