iPhone automatically blocks and deletes a phone number

Hello Apple Community,

I am facing a very strange issue with my iPhone. One particular phone number keeps getting blocked automatically, even after I manually unblock it. Additionally, the phone number itself is getting deleted automatically from my phone without me doing anything.

I am not deleting the number manually. Both issues are happening without my action. Whenever I unblock the number, it gets blocked again, and the contact/number disappears automatically.

I would like to understand why this is happening and how I can stop my iPhone from automatically blocking the number and deleting it.

Has anyone experienced this issue? Could it be related to an iOS bug, contact syncing, or any other setting? I would appreciate any help or suggestions to resolve this permanently.

Thank you.
