Why do deleted contacts still show when starting new text messages?
I have an iPhone 4s. I've deleted many contacts but if I start a new text message that begins with the letter of someones contact I deleted, they show up. How can this history be deleted? I have a friend with an iPhone 5 and this does not happen on that model.
just thought you like to know having apple do a hard reset to my phone didn't fix the problem I still have the deleted contact show up when I text anyone who has the same letters in their name. Infact the apple store employees and phone operators told me I completely stumped them and they have no idea how to fix this since that contact does not show up anywere else and a hard reset also failed. they said that eventually maybe my phone will fix itself with one of there upgrades but if I should figure out how to fix it on my own to please let them know how I did it.

Why does my apple id show when i send text messages?
Since I updated my iphone to ios 5.0.1, the person I'm texting sees that they've received a message from my apple id instead of my phone number. How do I change this so I show as the contact they have saved in their phone?
This must be a new glitsch. Mine is doing this too and sending all messages to all of the devices on my icloud account. Very irritating. Is this recent? Mine just started two days ago.

Try this...
have a text convo with the person you want to delete. Go to the top contact in the text convo, hit edit contact, and delete that contact.
That resolution came from another thread on this issue, and this did solve to poster's issue. -

When I go to text my deleted contacts still show.
When I go to text, my deleted contacts still show up when I type in a name but when I tap on them just the number shows up. Is there a way to get them to go away other than reseting my iPhone 5?

Why is contact name now appearing with New Text Message notification?
How do I get the contact name to not appear when I'm notified I have a new text? It used to just say something like "New Text Message." This is happening when my phone is locked.
This was part of the new 2.2 update. There is no setting to turn this off.

Deleted contacts still show up in autocomplete list
I have an iphone 4. I deleted some contacts from my contact list, and they still show up in the autocomplete list when I type an email and start typing a contact in the 'to' field. How do I get them to not be in that list anymore? Is it possible?
The only way to get rid of the autocomplete list is to restore your phone as NEW.

Why does my iPhone screen dim when I send text messages?
Whenever I'm texting someone and I tap the voice button to use talk to text, the screen dims to black on my 5s, if my face gets close to the phone.
Also, if I put the phone up to my ear or near my face whenever I have text message convo window open, the phone beeps and dims. It starts trying to record a memo or something?
I'm jailbroken and I have never seen this happen before. Any ideas on what is going on?
Would appreciate any help! - budWe really do not support jail broken devices as it violates the terms of this site. That said the dimming when the phone gets close to your face is a normal function via a proximity sensor to stop inadvertent button triggers

HT3529 Contacts not found in contact list after saving from new text message
When a new number texts me and I save it to my contacts, I can find that contact when texting, but contact does not show up on my phone list contacts. For Example: I received a text message from (555) 555-5555. I #1 clicked "Contact" in the top right corner of the text message screen, #2 clicked "i" button, #3 clicked "Create New Contact," #4 added first and last name, and #5 clicked "Done."
In the future, if I try and text that saved number, the contact will appear under the saved name. But if i press the phone icon and look at my contact list, the contact is not there. So if I try and text "Heather Campbell" i can find the contact by clicking new message and typing "Hea" and send her a text message with no problem. However if I go to my phone contact list and try to call her, she is not listed as a contact.
Please Help!Unfortunetly, that's not the problem. I have 3 groups. 1. All iCloud 2. All Hotmail 3. All Facebook. I have the All iCloud checked, i do not want facebook friends and email addresses in this contact list. This will only give me a list of phone numbers I saved from call log. Not phone numbers I saved through text message. Thank you though!

HT4993 Deleted Contacts are still showing when compossing a TXT.
I have deleted several contact or updated there phone numbers. The deleted and old phone numbers are still showing when I send a text message. I have cleared all information from my synced accounts. I do not understand why this is so complicated. I have read online that this is an issue and do not understand why Apple does not fix this. I cant wait do dump this phone and go back to Google.
I have exactly the same issue - ex girlfriends, old bosses, previous numbers long update all still show up. As far as i can tell from all the other forums kicking around the only way to do it is to reset to fatory settings and set your phone up again as a new iPhone and there is NO WAY i'm doing that.
I can't believe they haven't fixed it yet...maybe the new OS will sort it

I deleted a contact, but they still show up in my text options to send. I would like to delete the contact from my texts too.
No don't restore your iphone. I've done that several times & it has never worked. -I still have deleted contacts in my iphone texts. *However if you do restore it you will not lose all your data, pics, text messages etc if you backup in iCloud. It restores back to original phone. Very nice :). Anyhowwww....
I JUST figured it out!! :))). Remove the contact from recents.
Start a text. You should see the deleted contact. All the way to the right of the name is a symbol. The symbol is a circle with "i" in the middle. Click that symbol then in red lettering click "remove from recents". -
See above. I need to get rid of these contacts.
Delete the Contacts from your phone.
Go to Settings > iCloud.
Delete the iCloud Account, but keep the data on your phone.
Go back into Settings > iCloud and set up the account again, and manually create a new backup.
That will help your iCloud backup to be 'correct' from now on. For the contacts appearing as you create a new text message, that will probably last for a while.
Otherwise, you have to start completely fresh & new; no restoring from any backups. -
