How to View and Delete the History or Log of Calls, Messages and Contacts on Android

Clear entire history on Android it is not complicated at all. If we want to get rid of the record of calls, messages and contacts on these mobiles we just have to follow a simple step. This process can even be done manually, selecting what you want to delete or you can do it automatically.

The Android system already comes with the option to delete all this information manually. You simply must go to phone app, contacts or messages and long press on the record you want to delete. It is a simple step very similar to how when we want to delete the browsing history on Android as well.

On Android you can basically do whatever you want and deleting these records is simple, but would you like a application that does it automatically every so often? In this way you can save a lot of time and on some occasions, surely a displeasure. Well, we’ll talk about one later.

How to delete the call history?

To carry out the process of deleting the call history, you have to do the following:

• This time you open the phone app.
• You go where it says Recent.
• Leaves finger pressed on call that you want to delete until it is marked, now you will be able to mark all the ones you want to delete.
• Then simply hit delete at the top or in case you have an icon, it is generally represented as a garbage can.

Delete the messages

The one for the messages is very similar, only a bit easier:

• Open the Messages app (the one you use to send messages)
• Make a long press on message that you want to delete. It should be marked. Then you can do a normal tap on other text messages to leave them marked.
• Tap on Remove.

Delete frequent contacts on Android

Now, to delete contact history that we frequent on Android, we have two somewhat different steps, but they have the same result in the end:

• Again you will have to go to the phone app.
• You have to press and hold the contact you want to delete until it is marked, then you can mark all your contacts that you want to delete.
• In the end just press delete and you’re done.
• In case you do not want frequent contacts not even to be seen, from the configuration of the same application you can choose disable frequent contacts.

You can also do this from the Contacts app. There you can even turn off the feature that shows frequent contacts, from the settings of this App. So the contacts you call the most will never appear in the registry again. Samsung cell phones have this option when it comes to deleting the history on them.

Al delete frequent contacts from the Phone app, they should also automatically disappear from the “Contacts” app and vice versa. If you have doubts, verify that it is so and you can carry out the process again if it was not done previously.

How to delete history automatically

As we have already seen, it is not necessary to install an external application to be able to erase the history on Android. But if you want these records are deleted automatically And all at the same time, you can use the History Eraser application, which we can find for free in the Play Store.

You can configure that they are automatically deleted from time to time. You can even add a widget to the home screen to erase everything in one touch. This is a very interesting and very versatile application at the same time. It is quite intuitive and it is not at all necessary to explain or guide it regarding its use.

Is very easy to configure so that from time to time it deletes the history of SMS, phone calls and frequent contacts among other things, on its own. And it is not only available for Android devices, but also for iOS mobiles.

As you will see, all the processes are quite similar and not complicated at all, it will be a matter of a few minutes so that you can have the entire history completely clean.

Although many are users who prefer to use the application to do it themselves. And if it happens, that after having erased all the history you want to recover it again, there is no need to worry, since in these Android phones we can recover said records.
