The fastest way to delete contacts on an iPhone is by using the built-in Contacts app. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to do it:
1. Open the Contacts app on your iPhone. It is usually represented by an icon with a silhouette of a person on a gray background.
2. Once you’re in the Contacts app, you’ll see a list of all your contacts. Scroll through the list and find the contacts you want to delete.
3. To delete a single contact, simply tap on the contact to open their details. Then, scroll down to the bottom of the contact’s information and tap on the “Edit” button. scroll to the bottom again and tap on the “Delete Contact” option. Confirm the deletion by tapping “Delete Contact” again in the pop-up window.
4. If you have multiple contacts you want to delete, you can delete them in bulk. To do this, go back to the main list of contacts and tap on the “Edit” button in the top-right corner of the screen.
5. Now, you’ll see a circle icon with a checkmark next to each contact. Tap on the circle next to each contact you want to delete. As you tap on a contact, the checkmark will appear, indicating it has been selected. You can select as many contacts as you want.
6. Once you have selected all the contacts you want to delete, look for the trash can icon at the bottom-left corner of the screen. Tap on it, and a confirmation message will appear asking if you want to delete the selected contacts. Tap on “Delete Contacts” to confirm.
7. After confirming the deletion, the selected contacts will be removed from your iPhone. They will also be removed from any other devices synced with your iCloud account, such as your iPad or Mac.
It’s important to note that deleting contacts from your iPhone will not delete them from your iCloud account. If you have contacts synced with iCloud, they will still be available on iCloud.com and any other devices connected to your iCloud account.
To delete contacts from iCloud.com, you can follow the steps I mentioned in my previous response. Log into the iCloud website, click on Contacts, select the contacts you want to delete, and then hit the delete key on your keyboard or click the settings button on the lower left and pick delete.
