    Question

    How do I change phone numbers in contacts and favorites?

    Answer

    The provided Quick Start Guide for the ClearCaptions Mobile App does not contain specific instructions for changing existing phone numbers in contacts or favorites. It only details how to add new contacts and tag them as favorites. Based on the manual, the app mirrors your iPhone's contacts, so changes might need to be made in your phone's native contacts application. If a contact is deleted in the ClearCaptions app, it will also be deleted from your phone's native contacts.
