How do I delete the recent contacts which come up when I press + on the messaging / sms app?

[Pfalzi68]

Whenever I click on the "Messaging" icon, and then on the + at the bottom for a new SMS, then a list of contacts comes up: People to whom I most recently had sent an sms. Being concerned with privacy issues: How can I delete that list, or individual entries on that list? It seems not to be possible.

I don't think you can, maybe try using a different messaging app which doesn't do that?

Would highly suggest Google Messenger for SMS. It's great and works better IMO.

I am using Textra, when you protect it and let it overwrite it pops up even when the phone is locked and you can return texts.
