How to Delete Multiple Contacts on iPhone in 1 Go

If you are an iPhone user, you know how important it is to keep your contacts organized. However, there may come a time when you need to delete multiple contacts at once. Doing this one by one can be tedious and time-consuming. In this blog post, we will guide you on how to delete multiple contacts on iPhone in one go.

Launch the Contacts app

First, you need to open the Contacts app on your iPhone. This can be done by locating the app on your home screen and tapping on it. Alternatively, you can use the Spotlight search feature by swiping down on your home screen and typing "Contacts" in the search bar.

Select the contacts

Once you have opened the Contacts app, the next step is to select the contacts you want to delete. To do this, tap on the "Groups" button at the top left corner of the screen. Then, select "All Contacts" from the list of options.

You can now select the contacts you want to delete by tapping on each one. Alternatively, you can use the swipe gesture to select multiple contacts at once. To do this, swipe your finger from left to right over the contacts you want to delete. A blue checkmark will appear next to each selected contact.

It is important to note that if you only want to delete a few contacts, you can select them individually. However, if you want to delete all contacts, you can skip the individual selection process and select all contacts at once.

Delete the contacts

Once you have selected the contacts you want to delete, the next step is to delete them. To do this, tap on the "Delete" button at the bottom of the screen. A pop-up window will appear asking you to confirm the deletion of the selected contacts.

It is important to note that once you confirm the deletion, the contacts will be permanently deleted from your iPhone. Therefore, it is advisable to double-check that you have selected the correct contacts before deleting them.

Repeat the process

If you have more contacts to delete, you can repeat the process outlined above until you have deleted all the necessary contacts. However, if you have a large number of contacts to delete, this process can be time-consuming.

To streamline the process, you can use third-party apps such as Cleaner Pro or Cleanup Duplicate Contacts. These apps allow you to delete multiple contacts at once, without having to go through the individual selection process.

Deleting multiple contacts on iPhone can be a daunting task. However, with the steps outlined above, you can delete multiple contacts in one go. It is important to note that before deleting contacts, you should ensure that they are not important or relevant to you. You can also use third-party apps to make the process faster and more efficient. With these tips, you can keep your iPhone contacts organized and up-to-date.
