Edit the order of favorite contacts in the Phone app

My top contact list in the phone app got altered with the first listed one being deleted. I added it again but it goes to the end of the list. Can I edit the order in that list of “favorites “? Thank you.

iPhone 7 Plus, iOS 15

Yes you can edit the list to move the favorite contacts UP or DOWN in the list.

Open the Favorites list in the Phone app. Tap on EDIT at Top Left. Here, you will see all your listed favorite contacts with three Dashes to the right of them. Select a contact to be moved and then Touch and Drag by the Dashes to the desired position.

Time of Contact Order Change:

Was this intermittent (occurring without notice)? Or did it occur while you were using it(i.e. editing it)? It may be a glitch if it occurred intermittently.


If Intermittent:
