Cancel/Call Pop Up When Making A Call

I have an iPhone 6S Plus running iOS 10.3.1

Recently when I am using a "contacts" app to select a phone number that I want to call, a new pop-up message appears that ask me to select either "Cancel" or "Call".

Previously when I selected the phone number, the call would be placed without any pop-up message.

This problem occurs with five different "contacts" apps that I have tested but does not occur with the "contacts" app that comes with iOS.

I find the new pop-up message annoying and would like to remove it, how can I do this????

I am including a screen shot of the pop-up message.

Thanks!!!

iPhone 6s Plus, iOS 10.3.1

This is expected behavior, not a bug. Whenever you tap a phone number in an app that is not the native Contacts app, it will present that pop up. There's no way to remove it, as it's built into the iOS software.

I agree with Striker537, even if it's an "Apple expected behaviour" this is a Bug for most users+developpers.

We are hundreds, if not thousands of apps using the Call features, removing it for everyone (else than Apple) is more of a IOS error, than a 'security issue'. And more if it's just about some 911 scam calls...

Some intelligible possibilities would have been :

- just block concerned phone numbers : 911,...

- add a new permission for apps, like "access contact", then "allow this app to dial calls". One time YES and users + developpers would be happy...
