Double-click the Home button and they're right there at the top, ready and waiting for you to tap. But what if you don't want your contacts showing up there? What if you want to keep your private contactsfrom prying eyes? Luckily you can turn favorites, recents, or both right off!</p> <!--break--> <h2>How to remove favorite and recent contacts from the multitasking screen</h2> <ol><li>Launch the <strong>Settings</strong> app on your iPhone or iPad. </li> <li>Tap on <strong>Mail, Contacts, Calendars</strong>. </li> <li>Tap on <strong>Show In App Switcher</strong> under the <strong>Contacts section</strong>. </li> <li>Toggle <strong>Off</strong> the options for <strong>Phone Favorites</strong> and/or <strong>Recents</strong>. </li> </ol><p>If you ever want to re-enable either option, just follow the same steps again, and toggle them back <strong>On</strong>.</p> <p><a href='http://www.imore.com/how-remove-favorites-and-recents-multitasking-screen' title="How to hide recent and favorite contacts on the app switcher screen"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large/public/field/image/2014/11/ios_app_switcher_disable_contacts_howto_screens.jpg?itok=mY7a0HoK' />[/url]</p> <p>I personally prefer just having favorites show up so they stay static in the app switcher and don't continuously change, but you can set it up any way you like.</p> </div></div></div><div id="comment-wrapper-nid-28407"></div><img width='1' height='1' src='http://tipb.com.feedsportal.com/c/33998/f/616881/s/409b227f/sc/4/mf.gif' border='0'/><br clear='all'/>
