How do I unmerge contacts from someone else's contacts? Someone else logged in with their account on my iPad and when I re logged into mine, I noticed that when I create a message, I see their contacts yet,they are not in my contacts app. Please help.
iPhone 5, iOS 8.4.1

If they aren't in the contacts app then they aren't merged and you can't unmerge them. What you are most likely seeing is suggestions based on your message history.

Can you explain how this could happen and if there's anything to be concerned about?
I can only guess since I don't know the full story, but,,,
Your friend logged into her account on your phone and their contacts filled the contacts app, which they used to email their friends from. When they eventually logged out and you logged in, their contacts disappeared from contacts and yours took their place, however mail still remembers all the addresses so it can suggest them if you start to type one again. It's nothing to worry about, it's not a security risk.
Yeah, its just weird b/c it was literally like a 5 minute thing and then that happened but thank you for the explanation!
