How to delete read-only contact on iPhone?

iOS read-only warning means that the file needs to be refactored. At the same time, if the number registered in the person's contacts is saved via Whatsapp or a different communication channel, then a read-only warning may be encountered again. In this case, it is recommended to remove the person's number from all communication channels and then try to delete it from the contacts again. Removing hyperlinks will prevent the iOS read-only contact alert from being received.

In this case, iOS will not encounter the sentence that at least one person can be read-only. There are methods used to delete read-only contacts, and if these methods are applied, the warning given by iOS will be lifted by itself.

How to Delete the Contact That Issued the iOS Read Only Warning

The first method to delete the number that gives the iOS read-only error is to disconnect the connection. The steps to find and disconnect the connection are as follows:

Entering Contacts menu.
Finding the relevant number from the directory.
Entering the number/contact on the contact page.
Clicking on the image of the three dots in the upper right corner.
Pressing the "Show Connected Contacts" text on the page that opens.
On the newly appeared screen, the "Connected Contacts" list will open. Examining the list here and finally pressing the "Disconnect" text at the bottom left of the screen.
Confirm the Disconnect operation and press the "Unlink" button at the bottom right

When these steps are followed, the iOS read-only alert will be removed and the contact can be deleted from the contacts. If the person is still not deleted from the contacts, the process should be repeated until all of the main link elements that make up the bridge are removed. Otherwise, iOS will continue to encounter read-only error.
