Note 8 Pro - My Phone app is super slow when loading recent calls and favourites.
"Clear cache" didn't help.
Can I safely use "Clear all data" for the Phone app or will that delete my contacts?

Your contacts are stored in the contacts app not the phone app and should be set to backup to your Google account, Go to Settings - Accounts and Sync - Google, Check the backup settings are on. The phone app has permission to access the contacts in the contacts app. It is safe to clear the data in the phone app, But you may loose favourites and recent calls.
Thank you. Clearing the data deleted all calls before last sunday, but at least the call list is now loading reasonably fast again.
