  1. Open WhatsApp: Start by opening the WhatsApp application on your device. This could be a smartphone or a tablet that supports WhatsApp.
  2. Access Contacts: Once inside the app, navigate to the 'Contacts' section. On Android devices, this is usually found in the top right corner of the screen with an icon resembling a person or silhouette. For iOS users, it might be located at the bottom right corner with a similar icon.
  3. Select Contact: Scroll through your contact list to find the specific contact you want to delete. Tap on their name to open their profile page.
