New user of this. I have a contact that is no longer with us. She is deleted from my Gmail contacts and my contacts on the phone (which is a new android phone) but she persists in my WhatsApp contacts. I have tried to force a re-sync and even un-installed and re-installed all to no effect and am now stumped.
Help please as seeing her in contacts upsets Senior Management.

Hi Lyric,

To delete a contact, simply delete their phone number from your phone's address book:

Open WhatsApp and go to the Chats tab.
Tap the new chat icon > Tap the contact > Tap the name at the top of the chat screen.
Tap Edit > Scroll all the way to the bottom of the Contact Info screen, then tap Delete Contact.

Any good........ :?:
