When I click on the I message a list of names pops up, one being an old boss and the other being an ex. Literally the last people’s names I want to see. I deleted the contact information and the message threads. I’m in an amazing relationship and it disgusts me to have to see an ex’s name. Please give me a solution !!!


This is unacceptable. I was never too lazy to type a name in to send a message. This feature is obsolete and I want it gone.

iPhone 11, iOS 13

What I have experienced is when you keep using the iPhone regularly the contacts with whom you interact recently and regularly will only appear here.


If you do not interact with a contact then it will disappear automatically.



However you may....
