How to Add Favorites on iPhone
The iPhone’s pre-installed Phone app makes it easier to call and text the people you talk to most by making them Favorites. When someone is a Favorite, just tap the person’s name to immediately start a phone or FaceTime call, or open a new text or email.
Open the Phone app. Tap Favorites at the bottom of the screen. Tap + at the top. Choose the contact you want to add to the Favorites list. You can find them by searching, scrolling, or tapping a letter at the right side of the screen. Decide which type of communication you want to be the favorite: Message, Call, Video, or Mail. If the person has multiple details for one category (such as two phone numbers), tap the arrow to choose a specific one. The options you see in this menu depend on what type of contact information you’ve added for this person. After adding the Favorite, you’ll go back to the Favorites screen and see the new favorite listed along with the contact type just below their name.
How to Rearrange Favorites on iPhone
You can change the order of your favorite contacts from the Phone app by following these steps:
Tap Favorites at the bottom of the Phone app. Tap Edit at the top. Locate the favorite contact you want to rearrange, then tap-and-hold the three-lined button to the right to get ahold of it. Without letting go, drag the contact up or down the list. Take your finger off the screen to drop the contact into the new order you want. Tap Done to save your changes.
How to Delete Favorites on iPhone
You can remove a contact from the Favorites list to make room for others or declutter the list. Removing someone from the Favorites list is easy: Tap Edit on the Favorites screen, tap the red icon with the line in it, and then tap the Delete button.
If you want to remove the contact from the iPhone entirely, rather than just from the Favorites list, you’ll need to delete the contact from your iPhone.
