iPhone dialer 'keypad screen' shows random contact numbers when opened after exiting the app. And these contacts are probably people whom I haven't contacted in the last few months. I've tried restarting [soft/hard] the phone, to no use.
iPhone 5s, iOS 9.2
Hi smartkidAPN,
If you want to clean up the recent calls on your iPhone, you can tap Recents, tap Edit, and delete individual contacts or tap Clear to remove all contacts from your Recents list.
iPhone User Guide - Make A Call
Return a recent call. Tap Recents, then tap the call. Tap
to get more info about the call, or the caller. A red badge indicates the number of missed calls.
You can also reach recent and favorite people you’ve been in contact with from the multitasking screen—just double-click the Home button.
Dial manually. Tap Keypad, enter the number, then tap Call.
Paste a number to the keypad: Tap the screen above the keyboard, then tap Paste.
Happy New Year!
Nope ... Thanks for the reply but it still does not solve my problem.
The random contact comes up in the keypad screen ... I'm unable to take a screenshot as it flashes for a couple of seconds. I've attached a screenshot of my dialer screen and the problematic contact being displayed on the multitasking window instead. The last i contacted the phone number displayed was months ago. And since then I've dialed numerous contacts through the keypad screen. But don't know why this contact keeps coming up in the dialer screen 😟

Did u manage to fix the keypad problem
Please help!
I have the same problem as you!
How did u solve it?
I already have done upgrade to 9.3 iOs and I still have the same problem.
Hoped that with a new software update the phone number will dissappear. I tried reset all settings, tried restore, I even erased the number permanently and no chance.
Do you have a solution for this case? because i feel too
No one has a solution. I feel so bad. Even the 9.3 IOS upgrade does not help.
I hope that Apple will solve this problem in the future upgrade. HOPE! Only hope.
I Have the same problem like you from last year till now pls i need help for this
