re: How many dead people do you have in your phone contacts?

My brother

I have multiple family members that died long before covid.
Like another poster said it seems so final to delete them.

Does it count if they are alive but dead to me?

Just my dad's.

I never called it, nor he mine, in all the years it was in my phone.

I'd always call the home phone to talk. He, like me, wasn't much for talking on the phone.

He's been gone for almost 6 years. In some respects, it still feels like yesterday that we were still together, just being family. I guess that's why I can't and won't delete it.

I probably have a few numbers for people who are dead to me. Does that count?

Doh. I'm very late trying to milk this goat.

Quite a few. I don’t delete them because I don’t know if I’ll lose their texts or not.

A vendor and good friend of mine was diagnosed with leukemia in December of 2012. He came by and was sitting in my office when a bunch of customers and vendors came in all at once.



He died the night/morning of March 16/17 2013.

Both my parents, my cousins, and my best friends. That's 4. I just can't bring myself to delete them. Besides, my cousin's daughter now has her number

My mom, who died 2:25 am Christmas morning 2012. Just can't delete it for some reason.

My wife, who passed June 17th last year. Can't do it. I did cancel her phone off my plan and gave her iPhone to her daughter, who will use it until it isn't usable any more I'm sure.

Even when I've upgraded phones, with the automatic switching of address book to the new phone, I've kept them.

Probably seems stupid, but I don't care.

Also, at least for the wife, lot's of iPhone pics taken in "live" mode, and when you click on them you can get a couple/few seconds of her voice talking....
