How to delete a WhatsApp contact in WhatsApp - in detail?
Deleting a contact from WhatsApp can be a straightforward process, but it's important to understand that this action will remove the contact from your WhatsApp list and not from your phone's address book. Here is a detailed guide on how to delete a WhatsApp contact:
- Open WhatsApp: Start by launching the WhatsApp application on your device. This can be done by tapping on the WhatsApp icon on your home screen or in your app drawer.
- Navigate to the Contacts Tab: Once you are in the main interface of WhatsApp, look for the "Contacts" tab at the bottom of the screen. Tap on it to access your list of contacts.
- Find the Contact: Scroll through your contact list or use the search function (usually represented by a magnifying glass icon) to locate the contact you wish to delete.
- Select the Contact: Tap on the name of the contact you want to remove. This will open their chat window.
- Open Contact Info: Within the chat window, tap on the contact's name or profile picture at the top of the screen. This action will take you to the contact info page.
- Delete Contact: On the contact info page, look for an option that says "Delete Contact" or has a trash can icon. Tap on it. A confirmation dialog will appear, asking if you are sure you want to delete the contact. Confirm your choice by tapping "Delete".
- Confirm Deletion: After confirming, the contact will be removed from your WhatsApp contacts list. Please note that this action does not delete the contact from your phone's address book; it only removes them from the WhatsApp interface.
- Verify Removal: To ensure that the contact has been successfully deleted, return to your main Contacts tab and check if the contact is still listed there. If done correctly, the contact should no longer be visible in your WhatsApp contacts list.
