Edit button has disappeared from contact Favorites - can no longer edit that list

I used the edit button for the first time to delete my list of favorites (frequently called phone numbers) and reinstalled those I wanted, but can no longer delete or move any names. Only the + sign is there, but no "edit" nor the dots on the side! How do I get it back?

Try and Force Restart your iPhone EXACTLY as shown below and see whether that resolves the issue:

  • Press and quickly release Volume UP button
  • Press and quickly release Volume DOWN button
  • Press and Hold the SIDE button until an Apple logo appears and then release the Side button (Can take up to 20 seconds. (DO NOT release Side Button when invited to Slide Power OFF). 


Once the above process has been successfully completed, then check to Edit your contacts again in the Phone app.
