Along these lines, I admit with shame that lately I’ve been switching to airplane mode before looking up or modifying a contact, because it’s not obvious to me which combination of symbol-labelled buttons will do this without initiating a phone call. I feel old.

And don't get me started on trying to click on a missed call to either find out more about the number, access the voice mail or simply get rid of the "new notification" dot. I more often than not start calling the number although that's the last thing I want to do.
On iOS, There seems to be some background thing happening, because when editing a contact, it gets updated a few times.

But each time it gets updated while you're editing a field, it gets rid of the keyboard, and maybe of the info you just added.

It's extremely painful to use.

If you are using Android it's possible to add in app names in addition to icons. It's in the settings somewhere...
Same here. Too often have I inadvertently initiated phone calls.
