73Scott337 and kbz 1960 do you have a small number of apps? Maybe if we all list our apps we can narrow it down to the one that is causing the problem.

This feature was rolled out by google and it has nothing to do with third party apps or OEMs. There is a service within the google play services package which runs periodically to clear frequently contacted list. The only workaround possible is that you can revoke the contacts permission for google play services. Be aware that this will stop your contacts from syncing with your google account.
Dear ArnieD,
Your solution seems the best. Could you explain how to revoke the contacts permission for google play services?
Thank you very much. Unfortunately it doesn't work on Android 5.1.1 I have. But my wife has Android 6.0.1 and your instructions suits her.Goto Settings/Apps, scroll down and press on Google Play Services, then press on Permissions, then slide the slider next to Contacts to revoke permission.
But numerous people here running stock Android have stated numerous times that our Call lists are not being cleared out automatically. That's why we keep asking....if this is a new Google policy why is it not affecting all phones of the same model? Why only some Moto G6? Why only some Pixels? Why only some Moto Z2? That's the part that doesn't make sense

Is it a android Pie issue?It is possible that this is an issue faced by phones that don't have the new google dialer where the favorites tab is divided into 2 parts, viz. favorites and frequents.
In the end "what happens at google, stays at google"; there is never a proper and complete explanation about their policies.
No. It's been happening to phones on OreoIs it a android Pie issue?
Hi guys! This solution works perfect on Android 6.0.1. already a week. Many thanks.Goto Settings/Apps, scroll down and press on Google Play Services, then press on Permissions, then slide the slider next to Contacts to revoke permission.
