making a default phone number? In my contacts list, I have several phone numbers for a client. How do I establish one of them as the default phone number? I see it posted that "To change the default phone number or email address for a contact method, touch and hold the button for that method below the contact’s name, then tap a selection in the list." In iOS18.2, I don't see any such button. This goes for my Mac contacts list as well.

Set the number as Favourites.

You can make any number and add it to Favourites and make it Default for Calls, Messages, FaceTime, and email ID for Video Calls or for sending emails.

Please see the pic below which is self-explanatory.
