User level: Level 1 (15 points)iPhone12, iOS26. Siri won’t call contacts. Always searches for a place/contact in maps.
Force reboot, disable/enable Siri, disable “learn from app”,… all no solution!

Berten ~ As your iPhone 12 could be >5 years old, it's worth checking for a weak, aging battery (which can cause various issues.) So...
Does your iPhone 12 still have its original battery?
And what's the Maximum Capacity % here?...
Settings > Battery > Battery Health & Charging

having the same issue only Siri is calling numbers found on the internet and not contacts. Continually says “not in contacts”. Change the name of the contact and it works a couple of times then stops working again.

New battery installed. Problems existed before battery change, so new battery can’t be the problem.
it seems Siri prioritises Maps to contacts… so always suggests something from maps
