I’ve used iPhone for so long now … I’ve had to update several friend’s phone numbers in my contacts list.<\/p>\n

What happens when you go to text a friend with a changed number? \u00a0Auto suggestions will pop up your friends name … without displaying the number behind the name. \u00a0If you’re not careful, you’ll deliver a text to your friend’s old number\u00a0without even knowing it.<\/p>\n

Those\u00a0auto-suggested names<\/em> come from your\u00a0Recent Text History<\/em> list – and, so long as the number hasn’t changed, it makes life easy. \u00a0You don’t have to type out the whole name. \u00a0But, what happens when someone has a new number? \u00a0 How do you stop iOS from using an old number? \u00a0If you’re not careful, you can deliver a text to the wrong person without even knowing it.<\/p>\n

So, there’s good news to fix things … you can remove (and even inspect the actual number used) by tapping on the circled information “i” on the right side of the suggested contacts. Tapping the “i” shows the contact info used, and offers a link to Remove From Recent Chat History<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The odd thing is …\u00a0if you are using a Mac computer to text – there’s no way to delete recent contact from that platform. \u00a0Seems to be a mistake on Apple’s part. \u00a0It must be deleted from an iOS device.<\/p>\n
