This has been reported for almost a year by some users. Have you performed the normal troubleshooting like force-closing the phone app, restarting your phone, etc?

Kind of surprising that they returned the call; without revealing your PII, did you try to to get info on why they called "you" back? Are they totally "random"? Perhaps you might be a target of phishing from "fake call".

Yeah completely random, my number is German and I’ve had calls from a few random European countries. And the callers never ask for anything, not that I would tell them anything.

These calls are not likely coming from your phone. Rather, some robo caller is likely spoofing the caller ID using your number. The FCC website says
What can you do if your number is being spoofed?
If you get calls from people saying your number is showing up on their
caller ID, it's likely that your number has been spoofed. We suggest
first that you do not answer any calls from unknown numbers, but if
you do, explain that your telephone number is being spoofed and that
you did not actually make any calls. You can also place a message on
your voicemail letting callers know that your number is being spoofed.
Usually scammers switch numbers frequently. It is likely that within
hours they will no longer be using your number.
