People often change phone numbers, switch email addresses, or move to different companies. To keep your contact list current, you can add, delete, or modify any information you want.
To edit contact information, follow these steps:
From the Home screen, tap Contacts. The Contacts screen appears.
Scroll through your list of names on the left side of the screen, and tap a name that you want to edit. The information for your chosen name appears on the right side of the screen (see Figure 30-1).
Tab Edit at the bottom middle of the screen.
(Optional) Tap any text field. The virtual keyboard appears to let you edit text in that text field.
(Optional) Tap the white dash inside a red circle that appears to the left of some fields. A red Delete Contact button appears, as shown in Figure 30-4.
(Optional) Tap the white plus sign inside a green circle that appears to the left of a field such as add new address or add field. Tapping the icon to the left of the add field box displays an Add Field list, as shown in Figure 30-5. Tap a field to add such as Nickname, Job Title, or Birthday.
(Optional) If you'd like to delete a contact, tap the big red Delete Contact button. A dialog appears, asking if you really want to delete your contact. Tap Delete or Cancel.
Tap Done in the upper-right corner of the screen when you're done editing a contact.
Note
When you edit contact information on your computer or iPad, you can synchronize those changes through iTunes as described in Chapter 20.
