Delete Phone Calls on the iPhone with a Swipe

Dec 8, 2011 - 12 Comments

Delete a Phone Call from iPhone Call Log with a swipe

Since iOS 5 you can delete any single phone call from the iPhones call log with a simple swipe gesture, here’s how:

  • Open “Phone” and then on “Recents”
  • Tap and swipe to the left or right on the phone call you want to delete
  • Select the red “Delete” button” to remove the phone from the list

This only deletes the selected phone call, and will not remove other calls from that person or their contact information.

The swipe-to-delete gesture is seen elsewhere after iOS 5, including when deleting a song from iTunes on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

    Is there any way to subscribe to ONLY OS X stuff for us that don’t have iOS devices? The site is called osxdaily. Maybe create a sister site called iosdaily? Thanks

      Hey Eddy,

      You can always just sort posts by categories, here’s one for just Mac OS X:

      http://osxdaily.com/category/mac-os-x/

      You’ll inevitably miss some posts though, because not everything is exclusively a Mac or iOS item, and some are both. Statistically, the majority of our readers have a Mac and an iOS device, and some only have iOS devices and no Mac, and some have Macs with Androids, amongst a variety of other setups. With such a diverse audience technologically, we try to accomodate everyone, but let us know if you have any ideas or if you want an RSS feed exclusive to a certain category or topic.

      How much do you pay for this website again? What is your monthly subscription fee? Oh, there isn’t one because it’s FREE??? Then stop complaining about a free service.

      • Eddy says:

        First of all, I was not complaining, I was giving feedback and making a suggestion, something that is useful for most sites.

        Second, wether I pay or not does not matter (that much). By viewing the site and recommending it to others, I generate revenue from the ads that are displayed to me. So if there is something that bothers me, I could just unsubscribe and not care anymore, or I could give feedback and let the owners know what I think.

    Or rename the site to IOSXdaily?

    OS X can be on Monday, Wednesday, Friday.
    iOS on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
    Then Saturday and Sunday are legacy OS days…

    Under the OSXDaily logo on the top of the webpage, you can click on a filter. There is Home (all), Mac OS X, iPhone, iPad, Tips & Tricks, Jailbreak, OS X Lion, iOS 5.

    Click Mac OS X and you can skip all the non-OS X stories.
