Apple Intelligence is now available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac!
I just got a new iphone. Ive been using android for the past few years but used to use iphones. When i set my phone up it loaded all the contacts from my old iphones. Which is a TON of contacts i dont use anymore. I went on to my icloud and deleted a ton of them but they're still on my iphone! How do i update it so it reflects what i deleted on my icloud?

Hello there, ContactsQuestions!
The only solution I have to your issue is only able to work if you have a PC or Mac. Follow the steps listed.
Note for Step 4: If you don't want to delete all of your contacts, only highlight the ones you want by ctrl + Left click or cmnd + Left Click on the contact.
If there is an easier way, please refer to other comments (if any other comments)
I really hope I helped you!

I had the same issue and these are the steps I followed. This was just done today so I'm not sure if everything happened as expected.
I have an iPad and an iPhone and want both of them to be the same. However, after doing this my iPad states it has 7 more contacts then my iPhone has. Comparing this with my iCloud.com account, it has 2 more then the iPad. This is why I stated that everything may not have happened as I expected. Anyway, my iCloud.com account has all the contacts I need and my iPhone and iPad have most of them. At some point I may compare them to find the discrepancy.
Thank you! I successfully deleted the contacts. But my phone doesnt reflect those changes. How do i make my contacts on my phone reflect those changes?
That depends on where the contacts came from. On an Android the contacts are usually in your gmail account; the iPhone is just displaying those gmail contacts. If this is where your contacts came from log in to https://mail.google.com and check. If that’s where the contacts are delete them from there and they should disappear from your phone.
well i think they came from my oooooold iphones i had back in the day. I have had android for the past few years but before that, i had iphones
How to mass delete contacts from iphone?
