Nobody ever has my phone, If I'm showing anyone something on it I'm holding it and it's never just left lying around etc I have a pass code and face ID on it too and nobody knows my code. I live alone, I'm single with no kids so nobody has done it.

My mum has had the same mobile number for about 15 years. She hasn't changed it.

Just gone to call her and it is showing two numbers for my mum in both my phone contacts (so now if I click on my mum it shows two numbers, her number and the mystery number below it) and on whatsapp. One of them is my mum's number, the other is a completely random number I have never seen before. It wasn't there yesterday.

I haven't changed my number or sim either. It's not showing a pic on whatsapp on the second number and nothing comes up on facebook, If I call it it rings then goes to voicemail.

Anyone had a random number show up like this before?!?

Has anybody sent you a contact card for you to contact someone? If they have the number saved in their phone is mum it will try and save it with the same name

Put the number into Who Called Me and see what comes up.
