how do i delete a contact on FaceTime

You can delete any contacts directly from your "contacts list" on the Facetime App, or you can delete them from your address book. On the Facetime contacts list, just click on the contact you wish to remove, and an "edit" option will appear. BE AWARE, whatever changes you make to your Facetime contacts list will be reflected on your Addressbook Application, and the reverse is also true. In other words, your FT contacts list and your addressbook are one and the same. However, if you delete a contact on your Facetime "Favorites" list, your addressbook listings will not be affected.

I don't know what to say.

Back when I firsat asked this question, I guess in October, I found an answer to it almost immediatey and I shared that solution in this forum just for other people like momuv2dox who may be looking for the same solution. When I found out he had this same question I was wondering why my statement of the solution wasn't posted. I thought to post the solution again and upon trying, I recieved a notice that a "recovered version of my post was available" or something like that. Any way, I accepted to use the recovered version and here we have it...the post I posted back in October is now above this post.

When I went into Facetime, I pressed ➕ To get the contacts, tap the name I wished to remove, then pressed edit, at the email name I tapped ➖ the 'delete', then added letter 'a' so that 'done' was showing at the top. Now I have a swag of 'a's to delete from my icloud account. iPads are such fun, sometimes.

Hi,

I wanted to do the same thing because I don'tt know which program had populated my address book with the information of everyone I have ever known.

The problem is that clicking on some contacts does not give me the delete button.

How do I deal with that?

And is there a way to just reset my contacts down to just zero?

Thanks.

i Have the same problem as Farzad. The address book in my FACETIME app on my IMAC is 10 times the size it should be. I only facetime no more than 2 dozen people. I don't know how these contacts ( my students from a decade ago) appeared on this facetime contact list on my IMAC. Some of the contacts i click on give me the edit button...but the ones i REALLY want to delete, there is NO EDIT button. Can we get the contacts down to zero and start over? Where did these extra contacts come from. Someone please answer. That would be great!

Just got it fixed.

What I did was I went to my Contacts> Preferences > Accounts and deleted Facebook. All contacts Facebok forced upon me were deleted. If Facetime is o

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! Perfect and easy!!

no option of delete ..only option of block whn u edit the contact

GO to the contacts and remove from there, it will automatically delete from FaceTime.

on an iPad with iOS9.1 (as I have it) you can NOT permanently delete contacts directly in Facetime (+ = All Contacts; select contact; select Edit etc etc) as written in previous comments. The only way to eliminate contacts permanently is in the App "Contacts". Open it, select contact, select "Edit" (upper right corner) then scroll all the way down,- there is "Delete Contact".

This works 100%
