Android Central Question

I own a Moto G6, with Android Pie. Last night I called a restaurant to make a reservation, after I found their number on google. First time I ever called this number. Turns out the receiver of the call could see my name and surname on his display (it was a fixed phone). They obviously didn't have my contact previously saved. Where do I disable this feature?

That's from your callerID - either dial *67 before the number you're dialing or, if you want it off all the time, call your carrier. (But some people block unidentified calls.)

Depending on your carrier, you might be able to get them to change your callerID to just your first name.
