Step 1: Open the Contacts App
The first step in deleting a contact from your iPhone is to open the Contacts app. This app is usually located on the home screen of your iPhone, and it is represented by a grey icon with a silhouette of a person. Once you have located the Contacts app, tap on it to open it up.
Step 2: Select the Contact to Delete
Once you have the Contacts app open, you will see a list of all of your contacts. Scroll through the list until you find the contact you want to delete. Tap on that contact to open up their contact information.
Step 3: Scroll Down to the Bottom of the Contact Page
Once you have the contact open, scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page. At the very bottom, you will see a button that says “Delete Contact.” Tap on this button to begin the process of deleting the contact.
Step 4: Confirm Deletion
After you tap on the “Delete Contact” button, a pop-up will appear asking you to confirm the deletion. This is just a safety measure to make sure that you don’t accidentally delete a contact that you want to keep. Tap on “Delete Contact” again to confirm that you want to delete the contact.
Step 5: Repeat for Additional Contacts
If you have more than one contact that you want to delete, simply repeat the above steps for each contact. It is important to note that once a contact is deleted, it cannot be recovered. So make sure that you really want to delete the contact before you confirm the deletion.
