Feature description
In call history show number of the caller or called number. I have a lot of contacts with multiple numbers. When I call them I can afterwards not see to wich number I have already tried to reach the person or from what number I received the call.
Why do you want this feature?
It makes it more convenient to see that a person for example called from office, the I can call back to this or I know the person is already on the way home then call on mobile.
Additional information

I too, would prefer if phone numbers were shown under the contact name in call log entries.
For certain contacts it makes a lot of sense. Though, there are other occations where it's useful as well.
Not sure why this was closed other than perhaps limited development capacity (which I sympathize with, btw. If I had the knowledge (and time) to contribute to the code, I'd love to do so. All I can do right now is test, provide feedback, report bugs and donate).
@Aga-C I'm a bit confused about the "invalid" tag. Is it possible that the post was misunderstood? :)
@Saarsk We're already displaying type of the number when contact has multiple numbers. Displaying numbers itself wouldn't be helpful.

This is your opinion and your right to find it not helpful. Also as a developer it is your right to define what feature you are developing and what suggestion you don't like. But for others users it is useful to display the numbers. For example I have contacts with several mobile phone numbers in different countries and it make it useful to see, from where I was called to know the analyze timezone for calling back. Another example I wrote in the inital post.
I'm reopening this for visibility but no promises that this will be implemented.

I was about to open a new feature request, and then I found this one. In my case, most of the times only the name is shown. After reading the above comment, I tried with other numbers and indeed sometimes also the type is shown, but not always. So, is the fact that the type is not always shown a bug?
Related to this this feature request, if not under the contact name, would it be possible to show the number in the call details?
For those who may be interested, perhaps I just found a partial solution to see the number. In the call history tap the three dots menu associated with the contact/call you are interested in and then select "copy number to the clipboard". A toast message appears with the phone number associated with that contact/call. Not optimal, but better than nothing. :smile:
