Is there a way to delete all contacts on iPhone instantly?

At the moment I haven’t really found a practical trick to delete all iPhone contacts completely, it’s better to delete them one by one. Even if there is, you definitely need to install additional iPhone applications such as the Groups application, but it’s even more complicated, it’s better to use the manual method above.

This method isn’t too bad either, because you can select several contacts that might still be important enough to contact later.

But if you have too many contacts and are sure you want to delete all contacts on your iPhone, you can do the method below.

How to Delete Contacts on iPhone Simultaneously

After knowing how to delete contacts one by one on an iPhone, here I will also give you a trick on how to delete lots of contacts on an iPhone. The way to do this is by using the iCloud service, curious about how I do it? Check out the tutorial below.

Here are the steps:

1. Open the app Arrangement.
2. Then go to your Apple ID.
3. After that press menu iCloud.
4. Set the Contacts app to position Off (move the slider).
5. Then you need to press confirm Delete from My iPhone. Then all iPhone contacts that are synchronized will be deleted simultaneously.
6. Finally check in the Contacts application, all contacts have been deleted.

By following the steps above, the contact number should be deleted. If it is not deleted, try restarting the iPhone if necessary.

How to Delete Contacts on iPhone Directly Using the Groups Application

If the method above for deleting all iPhone contacts doesn’t work, you can use the help of an iPhone contact deletion application. The name of the application is groups, you can download and install it via the App Store application.

Here’s how to use it:

2. Run the Groups application that was just installed.
3. Allow the Groups application to access contacts on your iPhone.

7. A new window will appear, tap it Delete Contacts.
8. Finally confirm Remove from My iPhone!.
9. Then the selected contacts will be deleted.
10. Finished
