Step 1: Access the Contacts App
To begin, locate and tap on the Contacts app icon on your iPhone’s home screen. The Contacts app is represented by a gray Silhouette of a person.
Step 2: Find the Number
Once you have opened the Contacts app, you will see a list of all your contacts in alphabetical order. To find the number you wish to delete, you can either scroll through the list or use the search bar at the top of the screen.
Option 1: Scroll Through the List
If you prefer scrolling through the list manually:
- Swipe up or down with your finger to navigate through the contacts.

- Type in either part of or the full name of the contact whose number you want to delete.
- The list will automatically update as you type, showing potential matches based on your input.

Step 3: Delete the Number
Once you have located the contact and are viewing their details:
