Thanks for replying but the link did not help my cause. It shows how to delete contacts one by one. If I go this way it will take me days to delete all those contacts.


I want to understand why these deleted contacts are still showing in WhatsApp?

We understand from your post that when you delete contacts from iCloud those contacts are not being removed from WhatsApp. This article from the WhatsApp Help Center will provide you with steps on how to delete contacts from WhatsApp:
