iPhone 16 Pro after iOS 26.1 update: recent call log disappearing and reappearing

It's not always the iOS update's fault!  Many things can cause phone problems.  If you tell people you think it's an iOS update, it might make it harder to fix or find a solution for the real issue.

Remember, the right question often leads to the solution!

Was/Is your device Jailbroken? If that's the situation, please be informed that attributing the issues to iOS updates may not be accurate.

iOS updates aim to enhance user experience, boost security, and fix bugs rather than disrupt core features. The majority of the issues after updates might stem from underlying, unmentioned factors. Updates won't typically alter personal data but may refine settings or features. Backup before major updates for safety. Review Apple's update details and backup advice for a smooth process.

Kindly consider checking your settings and addressing any device issues before attributing the issue to external factors. This could be a pure coincidence that the iOS update affected the iPhone functions.

Before initiating a standard iOS update, it's advisable to create a backup. Have you completed this step? If yes, proceed with the restoration from the backup.

Well call me crazy but since my update to IOS 26.1 everything on my iphone 16pro is different. I mean everything. Let me just mention a few my login screen. My clock app is no longer black but rather white. my text message screen. My phone app home screen and within it my calls screen, contact screen, my search screen. My camera app. I could go on and on. EVERYTHING has changes and quit frankly I have spent hours trying almost everything I can to make simple changes...Excuse my language but (fill in the blank),

On iOS 26 and higher, the Call logs appear differently. See the pic below
