Hi,

When using Spotlight to search for a contact, touching the handset icon next to the found contact's name should initiate the call. But it doesn't always do that. Sometimes it does, but other times it displays a list of options at the buttom of the screen. Like this:

The Siri & Search options are correct:

How can I get rid of that WhatsApp suggestion? I want a straight voice call to be initiated as soon as I touch the handset icon.
With some contacts it does initiate a call directly, even if they have WhatsApp accounts. So there must be something about the way they are stored in my address book. Something must be different for some of them. But I can't figure out what.

Any suggestions?

Thank you.
