How to delete multiple contacts at once from your iPhone

Who are all of these people and why are they in my Contacts list and how do I get rid of them all at once?

By default your iPhone will only let you delete contacts one at a time, which isn't a very pleasant process for anyone who has lots to delete. For those that don't want to go the nuclear option of deleting all of them via iCloud, these is a way to delete multiple contacts at once, you'll just need the help of an App Store app to do it.

  • Go through your contacts and mark the ones you'd like to delete by tapping on the circle outline to the left of their name.
  • Tap Choose Action at the top.
  • Tap on Delete contacts... in the popup menu.
  • Tap on Remove from my iPhone! in order to confirm.
  • That's it! You should now be able to hop back into the built-in Phone or Contacts app and verify that the selected contacts were in fact deleted.
