Largey Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Well i am on ios 5.1.1un jail-broken. I have no idea how to delete contacts. There is no edit button for me located at the top right of my screen or anything. What do I do? I called apple but my warranty ran out last month and im not paying 30$ to take care of this -_- Thanks Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1078959-iphone-4-help-cant-delete-contacts/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillTheIrishman Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Go to the contact, choose edit, scroll down, at the bottom is a delete option.

Brandon H Supervisor Posted May 22, 2012 Supervisor Share Posted May 22, 2012 you have to open the contact you want to delete then the edit button appears Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1078959-iphone-4-help-cant-delete-contacts/#findComment-594881293 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phemo Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 You won't have an edit button at that point. You have to actually go into a contact then you have Edit at the top-right.

Damian Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Look if 'Restrictions' is on (Settings > General > Restriction) and turn it off. 'Restrictions' prevents you from adding, removing or modifying accounts in Mail, Contacts & Calendars.

Manish Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Go to Settings > iCloud > Contacts. Toggle it on/off depending on what it is now. See if that works. If it does, you should be able to change the contacts setting back.
