Reorganize your contact list
Your mobile phone is like a universe of connections, with contacts ranging from intimate acquaintances to people we rarely interact with. While some of these contacts communicate with you through WhatsApp on a regular basis, many others remain in the shadows, taking up precious space without providing any real benefit.
It is common to find numbers that no longer correspond to the people we thought they were. Sometimes this change is due to the fact that the person has changed their number and the previous one has been reassigned by the telephone operator.
This can be confusing as the old number still appears with the name of the contact saved in your WhatsApp calendar or list. But in reality, it no longer belongs to this person, but to someone completely different.
The importance of updating your contact list
Keeping your contact list up to date is vital to ensure effective communication. When someone in your social circle tells you about a number change, it’s crucial to delete the old entry and add the new one. This ensures that when you need to contact that person, you do so with the correct number.
Deleting unnecessary contacts is also an important task to keep your mobile phone space tidy and efficient. Experts recommend keeping only those contacts with whom you will interact regularly, as this makes the search process easier and protects you from coming into contact with strangers.
How to delete contacts on your mobile phone
Deleting contacts from your mobile phone is a simple process that can be done from the calendar or the WhatsApp application.
On iOS, simply select the contact you want to delete, tap ‘Edit’, then tap ‘Delete Contact’. On Android, tap the contact, select the three dots in the top right, then ‘Delete’ and confirm your decision.
This allows you to save space on your device and keep a neat and useful contact list.
