I don’t delete contacts. Once you’re in, you stay in until the end of time. Got a family member’s phone some years back, their contacts were added as well. I’ll never call any of them, but their numbers will exist even when they no longer do.
The eternal agenda cares not for the living or the dead.Even if it’s my worst enemy, if they’re calling to make my life a thousand times worse, I need to know who is calling
Same. I’ve never lost a phone either and I’ve always transferred my contacts from old to new. That has had some weird duplications and so I have 4 copies of my parent’s neighbor and it’s been like that since <2010.
I haven’t deleted any, but I’ve kept a few so that I can make sure they are blocked.
“See you later.”
“Not if I see you first!”
That’s why I don’t delete contacts. I have a special voicemail black hole for the people I’m making a point to forget.
I clean it up every few years. People who don’t chat or answer eventually get deleted. The past is the past.
I periodically clean things up. Getting older means removing dead people at an accelerating pace :/
Thanks for the reminder. I just wiped 110 contacts.
Three had passed away. Many were colleagues from over 20 years ago. A lot were army buddies from over 25 years ago. Some ex-partners of friends. Too many fast-food places from cities I haven’t lived in in forever.
Keep in nind that Meta and Google know your phone number, address, birthday, etc because your friends keep you in their contact list.
Trump supporters that were friends/family of mine are dead to me like Juanito. Don’t need that derangement in my life. Nothing admirable about Trump. A lot of contracts were deleted. Fuk em
The contacts I last removed were some classmates and school contacts of my daughter, who just finished university…
I moved. No longer needed the details of local businesses.
Started hosting my own Radicale instance a while back and cleaned up my contact list when I made the transition.
Got a new sim last week. Had some numbers stored on the old sim. I saved a few, but didn’t bother relocating most of them. That’s the same as deleting them, right?
My dad died in 2014. I still have his number saved. No, I don’t delete contacts very often.
I do it periodically. My phone contacts are restricted to friends I speak to frequently, family, certain work contacts and a limit of 3 people I don’t really talk to anymore but am leaving the door open for.
I removed my landlord right after I moved out of that lunatic’s house.
