How to Delete WhatsApp Contacts But Not from iPhone's Phone Directory?
You know how to delete contacts from WhatsApp which requires you to delete contacts from phoneâs directory. But what if you want to Delete WhatsApp contacts but not from Phone? Well, Iâll show you how you can fulfil your wish.
But first, letâs start fresh just in case you want to know how to delete WhatsApp contacts from your iPhone.Â
How to Delete Contact From WhatsApp in iPhone
Itâs easy, and hereâs how:Â
Open up WhatsApp.
Go to the Chats tab.
Tap on create new message button on the top right.
Search for your contact, and tap on them.
Now tap the contactâs name on top.
Tap Edit on the top right.
Scroll down to the bottom and tap on Delete Contact.Â
And Delete Contact again.Â
Now hereâs you how you can delete a contact from WhatsApp but not from your phone.
How to Delete WhatsApp Contacts but not from Phone
There are two ways:
1. Block Contact from WhatsApp
One method how you can try to restrict contact from your WhatsApp is by blocking them on WhatsApp. This method ensures that their phone number is accessible from your phone directory and you wonât see any of their updates on WhatsApp, nor will they see your WhatsApp activities.
Note that the contact wonât be able to contact you through WhatsApp. If thatâs not an issue then follow me:
This is how to block your WhatsApp contact:
Open up WhatsApp.
Goto Chats tab.
Tap on create new message button on the top right
Search for your contact, and tap on them
Now tap the contactâs name on top.
Scroll down, and youâll find Block Contact written in red. Tap it and thatâs it.
Now you wonât get their updates, and if they want to contact you on WhatsApp theyâll see your phone ringing, but you wonât be getting any call from them.Â
The blocked contact will see âUnavailableâ instead of âCall not answeredââ which you get when you are not blocked.Â
2. Save Number inside Notes
This is a clever trick I once found on Quora. It can keep your phone contact accessible in your phone directory but away from WhatsApp.Â
All that you need to do is create a new contact, and then instead of filling the mobile number area, scroll down to the bottom and youâll see notes.Â
Paste or enter the number inside Notes, and tap Done.Â
Thatâs it. Now WhatsApp will not show this contact, and you can always search for the name and access the number from notes when you need it.Â
So thatâs it for keeping your contact away from WhatsApp but not from the phone directory incase you ever need them.
