Ever since iOS 13, I'm having issues messaging certain people. For instance, in the To: field, I start to type the contacts name and there are all sorts of different choices, and they ALL show email addresses, not phone numbers.

The contact in question today still has a recent conversation in my messages app. There is history. But I type "Dave" and it shows his contact with email address even though his phone number is part of the contact (and, there is already an existing thread in messages between he and I).

Very frustrating. If I choose the contact with email, it says "New MMS", but if I find the previous messaging thread and add to it, it says "New Message".

I've already gone into Settings/Messages and made sure only my phone number is selected under "send & receive".

Is this a bug?
