How do I delete contact history?

t am trying to delete the history of the most used contacts on my iPad mini, which had been updated to to the new iOS 8.
I know I can delete the history of the apps I use on my iPad by pressing the home button 3 times quickly and then flicking them upwards. When my iPad is in this modus, I also see the pictures of the people that I contact via FaceTime and Messenger. But I can't seem to get this particular information deleted from my iPad history. How do I do this? (I know I can erase full conversations in each app. I want to erase the history of the contacts itself).
Thanks for any tips.

You're welcome. If you use your iPad primarily in landscape mode like I do, you have to remember to always swipe down the entire page as well when you are looking for certain features. Sometimes I forget to do that myself.

  • How do I delete contact History from Text Messaging?

    My Friend Got a new Number so I deleted his old number. But when I go to text messages and click on the box in the upper right corner for a new message and type his name in, Not only does his new number show up, but his old number does also that I deleted and replaced with the new number. When I go to contacts under his name only his new number is there. How do I delete his old Number from the text message History?

    that's also my problem how to delete contacts history.   try to go to message, select new message- then enter his/her number.  u will see there the old number that was deleted already. then tap the ( i ) symbol at the right side,  then you will see there "remove from recents". and it will not appear anymore. deleted contacts will not appear anymore. it worked for my iphone 4s w/ the latest ios 7  update.
    hope this will help.

  • Help! how do I delete contacts that are not on my contact list? when I start a new message you can still get the number when you tap in the name?

    how do I delete contacts? help! contacts are deleted off my
    contacts. but when I go to messages and press in the name the contact
    still appears under other..... can I delete these?

    That is saved in cache memory on the phone and that memory is about 2MB in size and is eventually overwritten with use.  The only sure way to get rid of it is to restore as new and not from a backup and you will lose data.  I suggest you just ignore

  • How do i delete contacts in my mail address book

    how do i delete contacts in my mail address book

    You don't, if you're referring to addresses that appear when you click the "Address" button.. Mail is just reading from the Address Book application's data. Open the standalone Address Book and you can edit and remove contacts there.
    If you want to clear the list of addresses that pop up as suggestions but that are not in your address book, go to the Window menu and select "Previous Recipients". You can edit or clear that list from there.

  • How can I delete the history of wireless connections?  Need to delete it entirely, as I have a new airport extreme and I named the network the same as it had previously been,

    How can I delete the history of wireless connections?  I got a new apple extreme, and I kept that same network name as I previously had with the LinkSys.   Now the Mac won't automatically connect to the network.  Genious Bar fixed my Pro, they said that you have to delete all the history, not just the network name.  I wasn't at the Genious Bar to see how they did it, now I need to fix the Mac.  Appreciate any help!

    Yes, so...
    I have also closed iTunes, reset network settings on the iPad, then shut down and restarted the iPad. Still, I end up with greyed out rectangular icons for all the movies I've ever streamed from my Mac Mini to my ipad via my home wireless router.
    Again, I have watched all the way to the end of the movie, selcted the movie in iTunes and chosen "mark as watched", and then deleted it in ITunes.
    Any ideas?

    Go into your Contact list. Tap once on a specific contact. A menu will pop up with "Contact History" included.  Select this option, then select clear.  This will clear the history.  There is no "clear all" option tho, so you will have to go thru each specific contact.

    How do you delete contacts from your phone for good without having it appear in the messages app?

    Hi tieyce,
    You need to hook up your iPhone, select it under Devices, and then go to the Photos tab on the Device Profile, and uncheck Sync Photos, then sync. That should delete all photos that were downloaded from your computer.
    When you say you have 2 separate albums of the same sets of pictures, what 2 albums are you referring to? Can you provide us with names of those "duplicate" albums?
