How to delete a contact on iPhone 6s without accidentally calling the person?

When I tap on contact name to delete, it goes into calling mode. How can I tap on a name without calling the person? Mine is iPhone 6s.

You're probably using the Phone app instead of the Contacts app, and you're presented with your recent calls. Here's how to delete a contact:


  1. Open Contacts and tap the contact that you want to delete.
  2. Tap Edit.
  3. Scroll Down and tap Delete Contact then tap Delete Contact again to confirm.


See Manage and delete contacts on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support. Hope this helps and have a great rest of your day!
