If resetting network settings doesn't fix the problem, try restarting your iPhone. Bugs and glitches can sometimes cause problems with features like call logs. Restarting your iPhone will clear out any bugs or glitches and get things running smoothly again.

1. Open the Settings app and go to General > Language & Region > Region .

3. Select Change to [Region Name] to confirm.
