I have tried to unlink three contacts linked to me by clicking on Edit, then the red button next to their name, then “unlink”. After hitting “done”, I scroll down and they are all still there. How do I make this permanent??
Hello dianne243,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. It's my understanding that you're unable to successfully unlink contacts on your iPhone. You've come to the right place! I'm happy to help.
If you haven't already, restart your iPhone. Restarting can resolve many unexpected behaviors.
Also, make sure that your iPhone has the latest software version.
Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If the issue persists, delete the contact and add it again.

Thank you for your response! I finally figured out that I couldn’t unlink multiple contacts at the same time. I did one at a time then clicked done after each unlink. Then I powered off to reset. It worked!!!
