IPhone 4S contact numbers still showing up after being deleted?
I just recently got my iPhone 4s and when i transferred contacts over, some numbers in there were my friends old phone numbers. Not knowing this at the time i texted them and later found out that wasn't their number. After adding their new number into contacts and deleting their old number I went to messages to send them a new message. When I search their name in the new message dialogue box to add them to reciepients I get multiple numbers for them. I get their new iPhone number, and then numbers that say other that are the numbers I deleted because they were wrong. Does anyone know how to delete those old numbers permanently? They don't show up in any of my contacts, just in the new message centre.
Delete any conversations you have with their old number in the Messages app, and then it shouldn't come up anymore. If you don't want to delete them - just make a new conversation with their new number and make sure you go to the right one (will then always be the one nearest the top as you aren't using their old number anymore).
Hopefully that makes sense and solves your problem!
- Why does my iPhone 4s still show a deleted contact? It says a contact is deleted for my contacts but when i typed a T into my bar to create a message one of the contacts came up as someone i deleted why is the name still in there? How can I delete it?
- Why do i keep finding a contact on my iPhone after i deleted the number? I cleared the call history deleted all the conversation cleared everything! Why does he keep popping when I search for his name in the iphone search I need to delete it forever please help
- Why are their names & numbers still showing on my iphone? I deleted down people. However they do not appear on the address book but when I create a new message and type the first initial of the person I'm texting, the people I have deleted will come up but there will be an "other" there!
- Separate MANY contact phone numbers on iphone? I recently inported my contacts via i cloud and for some reason it imported all my contacts phone numbers into one single contact and it has all the names blank is there a way i can just select like 5 numbers and add them to a contact to at least organze them by groups (i had like 180 phone numbers saved i do not have the time or patients to redo all of them)
