Xiaomi: Delete a Contact Group in Contacts

If a contact group in the Xiaomi Contacts app is cluttering your groups list, you can remove it without losing the people inside it. Many users hesitate because they assume deleting a group also deletes the assigned contacts. In reality, only the group label itself gets removed, while every contact stays saved on the device.

Delete a Contact Group auf Xiaomi

Contact groups on Xiaomi devices help sort numbers for calls and messages, but unused groups often stay behind after a project or event ends. Deleting a group does not delete the contacts assigned to it. Only the group label is removed, and every contact remains stored under your regular contact list.

To remove a group, open the Contacts app and tap the Groups section, then follow this path:

Tap on ContactsOpen the MenuChoose a GroupOpen the MenuTap on Delete labelTap on OK

Confirm with OK to finish. If the group still shows up afterward, check that you selected the correct one before deleting, since MIUI lists groups alphabetically and similarly named groups can look alike.

This method works the same whether the group is empty or still holds members. If you only want to remove certain people rather than the whole group, open the group and remove those contacts individually instead of deleting the entire group.

Frequently asked questions

No. Deleting a group only removes the group label. All contacts that were part of it stay in your regular contact list on the device.
