Not able to delete contact photos on ios 17

I can’t seem to find an option to delete a contact photo. My iPhone lets me edit a contact photo but not remove the current photo. This might be very dumb but I’m new to ios. Thanks in advance.

iPhone 13, iOS 17

Hi gaauuthaam,



It is the same steps as these, but when you go to chose the photo, you can just select the option that has the contact initials, this will remove the photo:


  1. "Tap a contact, then tap Edit.
  2. Enter or update their contact information.
  3. When you’re finished, tap Done."


You can find these steps along with other information that may be helpful, here:

If you have followed the steps correctly and you still have the issue, let us know if you get any specific alerts or error messages when trying, as those may help us determine what might be causing the issue.



We also recommend restarting your device and keeping it updated as those steps assure you have cleared out any minor software issues and are running the most current version.
