Could an iOS app make outgoing calls at its own discretion? Why? (sopuli.xyz)

sorry if there is a more relevant community. i tried on that other big forum site and was shot down by a bot and i am tired.

let's just say a person started working for a gig-type company, through an app, such as ****** and while "on the clock" and using the app, their iPhone was spontaneously, occasionally making 3-second OUTGOING calls to different numbers coded to San Francisco, where the not-so-hypothetical company is based.

and if you call the numbers back: "this number no longer works. please contact support"

what are they doing?

Is your phone jailbroken? Is it updated?

Post a screenshot
Reboot your phone
Reinstall/reset your phone

It could be a bug but I’ve never heard about it.

is there a way to ask the iphone for a detailed, inclusive call log?

it isn't jailbroken, it's old, on 16.6, just checked and i'm downloading 16.6.1. screenshots are basically useless here, i think. maybe i can get a detailed record from the cell provider, if i get that motivated.

it's too... /specific/ to be a random bug. and too weird. so, I'm probably losing it.
