greenfairie Posted November 27, 2013 Posted November 27, 2013 How the heck do I get his number OFF my phone??? I even managed to delete it directly from the address book but this iPhone seems to have some kind of memory that remembers everything/every name you typed in this phone and I STILL see his name with the hearts symbols and the number… This drives me crazy. Can ANYONE please help me solve this as I am trying to erase EVERYTHING of him that reminds me?
strive Posted November 27, 2013 Posted November 27, 2013 I remember my friend having a similar problem. Is it synced with icloud? Maybe you can look into that or how to delete there. 1
acidios Posted November 27, 2013 Posted November 27, 2013 welcome to the annoying new techs if we where at the 90s...it was so easy to break a phone now...it cost to much to replace it 1
Never Again Posted November 27, 2013 Posted November 27, 2013 iPhone contacts can sync up to iCloud and Google. If he also has an iPhone, his Apple ID could be still stored in your phone for iMessage, which is why you still see him. If you go into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar You should be able to select any account that your phone syncs to, and you can choose to disable contact syncing. Then delete his entire contact information. That might do the trick. 1

Nyclovin Posted November 27, 2013 Posted November 27, 2013 Same problem I had . Your phone recognizes it as a " recent " number . Find out how to clear recent numbers from settings not the call icon and it will disappear . So happy I did . Now if I can delete it from my mind 8 months later ... I'd pay for that ...

Debanked Posted November 27, 2013 Posted November 27, 2013 Edit your contacts within iTunes then reformat your phone. Don't synch with iCloud. Or hit your nearest Apple Store and ask a tech.
Art_Critic Posted November 27, 2013 Posted November 27, 2013 From a google search: Actually there is a way to clear the old email address. From your iPhone start typing the name of the person you would like to email. When you see the old email address then click the arrow to the right of that old email and click "Delete from Recents" This will solve the problem that you are having. It's for email but maybe it will work with numbers too, the autocomplete can suck sometimes
radiodarcy Posted November 27, 2013 Posted November 27, 2013 I am having the same problem and he didn't even have an iphone. I think eventually it'll flush itself out after a few months of not using it. At least that's been my experience.
Yasuandio Posted November 27, 2013 Posted November 27, 2013 I pay five bucks extra for this parental control thing with ATT, it's called smartcontrol or something like that. You can block anything you want.
