How to delete old iPhone contacts?

My mum changes her number so I swapped it in my contacts book, deleted her old number and added her new one.

However when I go to text her old number still appears next to her name.

Anyone know how I can get rid of her old number completely?

You probably saved two numbers for the same contact. Try to avoid that.

Well. If you have already deleted it in your contacts book. When you press edit and then delete. You need to sinc your iphone to your computer and any new messages that pop up on your computer you need to read and then one of them will say something like "things found on computer and not on iphone, sinc to iphone?" you need to click either cancel or NO and then wait for the sincing to finish.unplug your iphone and see if it worked. Works for me

  • Whatsapp contacts - if they're onnm contacts am I on theirs? I have the phone number of an old friend stored on my iPhone and they also show on my whatsapp contact list… Does this mean that they still have my phone number stored in their phone and also have whatsapp installed on their phone? The chat thing says they haven't been seen since 28th sept? If they didn't have my number on their phone would they still show as one of my contacts on whatsapp?

  • My contacts keep changing into my parent's contacts? I'm using my Dad's old iPhone 4, so it has all of his data. I cleared out everything that was his but I hate the part where each time my parent's add a new contact to their phone, everything syncs over to my contacts, so I'm scrolling down my list and see a new person I don't know but my parents do. Is there a way to change this?
