Why does my iPhone keep contacts that I've deleted?
When I go into my contacts and delete them, they're gone but I can go into messages and type in that person's name and it will still be there for me to text. When I text them, it shows up as their number not their name, but my phone remembers it for me to contact them. How do I get rid of this? When I delete a number I don't want to have any access to it. I've tried deleting it off iCloud and my phone, no luck. Any advice? X
Sad to say but it will always show the conatct in the messages. Apple does not have a feature to erase it. Only way is to do a restore of your iPhone which i'm certain you won't wanna do. You will have to restore as a new iPhone also, therfore losing everything
You can text anyone, it doesn't have to be in your contact list. Thats the way it should be, unless I'm missing something you are saying. I text people all the time that aren't in my list, and I don't' want to have to add them to my contacts just to text them.

- Why does my iPhone keep deleting my contacts? Hi, about once a week my phone has a complete epi and deletes all my phone contacts! I will just go on my phone one day and my phonebook says 'no contacts'.It's so annoying because when I try to do a computer back up to regain the information it takes hours. Is there some sort of reboot I can do that will solve the problem but won't delete all my phones data? Or does it need some sort of professional repair?
- Why do my DELETED contacts still show up in my iPhone? When I go to "new message" and start typing a name it will show a DELETED contact's name. For instance, my friend changed his number.
