Slack contacts split into three layers: (1) workspace members managed in Slack admin; (2) personal contacts in the Slack mobile app for DMing; (3) iPhone Contacts that Slack may have read if you granted permission. Each layer has its own deletion path.
Step-by-step
- 1
Deactivate workspace members (admin only)
slack.com → admin → Manage members → ⋯ next to user → Deactivate account. They're removed from the workspace but their message history stays.
- 2
Stop Slack from reading iPhone Contacts
iPhone Settings → Slack → Contacts → None.

Bulk-clean the iPhone source
Use Delete Contacts to trim. Work-adjacent contacts (vendors, freelancers, contractors) often pile up — easy to triage with the swipe interface.
How Delete Contacts helps
Once Slack is cleaned at the workspace level, the iPhone Contacts spill-over (vendors, contractors, ex-coworkers from past Slack workspaces) often remains. Delete Contacts handles that on-device.
