If you’re like most people, you probably have a lot of contacts stored in your Yahoo account. But if you want to delete them from your iPhone, it’s not as easy as just hitting the “delete” button. Here’s how to do it:
- Open the “Settings” app on your iPhone and scroll down until you see “Mail, Contacts, Calendars.”
- Tap on “Contacts.”
- Tap on the name of the contact you want to delete and then tap on the “Delete” button in the bottom right corner of the screen. ..
Install Yahoo Mail on your smartphone. open the Settings program on your device. nSelect Accounts from the drop-down menu. Tap Yahoo to open it. Tap your account at the top of the screen. Select Sync Contacts to enable it, or deselect it if you wish to disable it.
Open the Contacts app. … Select the combined contact. At the top-right corner of the screen, tap the Edit button. Scroll down and select the red circle to the left of the person you want to remove. Tap Unlink on the lower right side of your display.
Click More Options. Select Contacts. After that, check the box next to Enhance Contacts and click Enable. If you see Dis- instead of Enable, you’ve already enabled Yahoo to store your contacts automatically, so there’s nothing else you need to do.
It’s because you’re sharing iCloud accounts that this is occurring. Any synced data, such as contacts, is combined across devices and the resultant list appears on all of them. Additionally, any action (such as removing friends) takes place on all devices sharing the account.
Why can’t I find a “Delete Contact” option? It’s usually because the contact is linked and being synchronized from an application like Facebook or Twitter. … Go to “Settings” > “Facebook” (or whatever app has the contact) and select “Deactivate Account.”
