Deleting contacts

Everything I find says to delete a contact go to that contact, click edit then scroll down where the delete tab should be at the very bottom. The problem is that I have no delete option there, so how is it done?

Hey Ericdhvac


I think it's because you access the contact from the recent calls menu.


Try this, in the bottom bar, tap Contacts. Find the contact you want to delete and tap on the person. In the top right corner, select Edit. Then scroll all the way to the bottom and select Delete Contact.


That should make the difference.
