Step 1: Open the Contacts App
To delete a contact picture from your iPhone, the first thing you need to do is open the Contacts app. This can be done by tapping the “Contacts” icon on your home screen or searching for it in Spotlight search. Once the Contacts app is open, you will see a list of all your contacts.
Step 2: Select the Contact
Next, select the contact whose picture you want to delete. You can do this by tapping on their name or selecting them from the search bar at the top of the screen. Once you have selected the contact, you will see a list of their details, including their profile picture.
Step 3: Tap and Hold the Picture
To delete the contact’s picture, simply tap and hold on it. This will bring up a pop-up menu with several options, including “Delete Photo.” If you want to delete the picture, select this option. The picture will now be removed from your iPhone.
Step 4: Confirm the Deletion
Once you have selected “Delete Photo,” you will see a confirmation message asking if you really want to delete the picture. Click on “Cancel” if you change your mind, or click on “Delete” to confirm the deletion. If you click on “Delete,” the picture will be removed from your iPhone and you will not be able to recover it.
