Show contact matches
By default, when you have the dial pad displayed but you’re using the
keyboard to enter a phone number, both numbers and letters are displayed
and your phone performs a search of matching names in Contacts. If you
turn off this preference, typing on the keyboard with the dial pad displayed
enters numbers only.
