How to Delete Skype Contacts on Windows and Mac How to Delete Skype Contacts from Skype for Business How to Delete Skype Contacts on iPhone/Android Here, we will show the comprehensive guide to remove Skype contacts (one, multiple or all) on your Windows, Mac, iPhone, Android and more devices. Old Skype colleague or random Skype chat contacts due to business invitation will become the unwanted contacts and it is the time to delete the Skype contacts from your list.

When you use Skype to deal with your business and social life, you will find the contacts also increase so fast. Since its initial appearance in 2013, Skype has been playing an important role in free online calls, and messaging for mobile phone and computers. The features are concerning but it’s a relief nonetheless that there’s an off switch for all of them.“How do I delete all contacts in a Skype list with one click?” With this option disabled, you have far more control over who can, and cannot, message you over Skype. The option to do so is on the same Privacy screen under contacts. While you’re at it, you can also stop people from looking you up on Skype. Thankfully, you can disable it if you know it’s enabled and Skype happens to have this ‘feature’ enabled by default. Again, these people already have your email, at the very least, in their contacts which is why Skype can suggest you in the first place but you may not want to talk to every single person over Skype which is why this is a scary feature. The actual concerning bit is where it also suggests to other people to add you. Skype isn’t accessing information that it has been blocked from seeing. We know that the People app and Skype both have access to our contacts on Windows 10. Chances are you have someone’s email saved with their other contact information and Skype is using it to show you people you can chat with.

Skype allows users to be added via their Skype name and their email address. Skype isn’t suggesting random people and you will almost always recognize the names that the app suggests. The suggestions come from people in your contacts. Doing so will stop you from appearing as a suggested person to add to others. You might also want to turn off the ‘Appear in suggestions’ switch. On the Privacy screen, turn off the ‘Receive Suggestions’ switch and you will no longer see people suggestions in Skype. On the Settings window, go to the Contacts tab. From the menu that opens, select Settings. To permanently disable people suggestions in Skype, open the app and at the top-right of the left column click the more options button.
