How to Remove Recently Added Contacts on Android Samsung
If you’ve ever accidentally added someone to your contact list on your Android Samsung device or simply want to remove recently added contacts for any reason, you’re in luck. This guide will walk you through the simple steps to remove recently added contacts on your Android Samsung smartphone or tablet. Whether you’re a seasoned user or new to the world of Android, this process is straightforward and easy to follow.
First, open the Contacts app on your Samsung device. This app is usually pre-installed and can be found on your home screen or in the app drawer. Once the Contacts app is open, you’ll see a list of all your contacts.
To find the recently added contacts, look for a specific section or tab labeled “Recently Added” or “New Contacts.” This section will display all the contacts you’ve added to your device in the most recent order. If you don’t see this section, you may need to swipe down from the top of the screen to reveal the search bar and type “recently added” or “new contacts” to find the relevant section.
To remove a contact from the “Recently Added” section, follow these steps:
1. Tap on the contact you want to remove.
2. Once the contact’s details are displayed, look for an option like “Edit” or “Edit Contact.”
3. In the edit screen, you’ll typically find a “Delete” or “Remove” button. Tap on this button to delete the contact.
If you want to remove multiple contacts at once, you can do so by following these steps:
1. Go to the “Recently Added” section as described earlier.
2. Select the contacts you want to remove by tapping on the checkboxes next to their names.
3. Once you’ve selected the desired contacts, look for a “Delete” or “Remove” button at the bottom of the screen.
4. Tap on the “Delete” or “Remove” button to delete the selected contacts.
Please note that deleting a contact from the “Recently Added” section will not delete the contact from your device’s overall contact list. If you want to delete a contact permanently, you’ll need to delete it from the main contact list as well.
To delete a contact permanently from the main contact list, follow these steps:
1. Open the Contacts app and navigate to the contact you want to delete.
2. Tap on the contact to view their details.
3. Tap on the “Edit” or “Edit Contact” option.
4. Look for a “Delete” or “Remove” button and tap on it.
5. Confirm the deletion when prompted.
By following these simple steps, you can easily remove recently added contacts on your Android Samsung device. Whether you’re tidying up your contact list or removing an unwanted contact, this guide will help you do it quickly and efficiently.
