Deleted contacts still showing up in apps even if they have been removed from iCloud and the device.

Even though I have deleted those contacts from my phone and iCloud, they keep popping up on telegram and snap chat also their old names do not change either. It feels like they keep restoring from a very old back up.

Hi ninjacarrot,


Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities. 


We understand that you have deleted contacts however, the deleted contacts are still showing up in the Telegram and Snapchat apps and also the old names haven't changed & we are happy to help! To resolve this issue follow the steps in the Apple Support article If your iCloud Contacts, Calendars, or Reminders won’t sync


If you followed the steps in the support article and you still have issues with deleted contacts showing up in Telegram and Snapchat apps, then we recommend you contact the third-party app developer for those apps, see How to contact an app developer


Have a good day.
