Hi,
I’ve built an app that includes a Contacts Provider Extension (CPE). On iOS 18, I observed the expected behavior — when the main app is uninstalled, the corresponding CPE entry is also removed from the Contacts list.
However, on iOS 26, this no longer happens. After uninstalling the app, the CPE remains visible and active in the Contacts list, even though the app is gone.
Please file a Feedback report using Feedback Assistant, then post the number here.
This behavior is also showing on iOS26.1 release candidate.

This behavior is also showing on iOS 18. Please confirm it
This behavior is also showing on iOS 18. After I restart the iPhone , the contact provider is deleted.
