How do I delete contact History from Text Messaging?

My Friend Got a new Number so I deleted his old number. But when I go to text messages and click on the box in the upper right corner for a new message and type his name in, Not only does his new number show up, but his old number does also that I deleted and replaced with the new number. When I go to contacts under his name only his new number is there. How do I delete his old Number from the text message History?

Did you get your problem resolved? I've got the same issue. Have backed up, reset erasing content and restored with the same problem.

that's also my problem how to delete contacts history. try to go to message, select new message- then enter his/her number. u will see there the old number that was deleted already. then tap the ( i ) symbol at the right side, then you will see there "remove from recents". and it will not appear anymore. deleted contacts will not appear anymore. it worked for my iphone 4s w/ the latest ios 7 update.


hope this will help.
