Myself and many others are experiencing a really odd bug.
Seemingly overnight or whenever contacts sync random metadata is added to items. These seem to be vCard data. item5, IMAGEHASH, X-ABADR and more.
Fixing the contacts is only temporary as some hours later the issue comes back.
Some have mentioned Outlook being the cause, but I cannot stop it even after removing my account from Outlook and denying contact access.
