Remove a contact

There are a few ways to remove a contact from the mobile app. You can unsubscribe your contact from your marketing campaign, archive them from your audience and keep their campaign data, or permanently delete them from your account.

To remove a contact, follow these steps.

1. Open Mailchimp’s mobile app on your phone or tablet, and tap the Audience tab.

4. Tap the contact's name to open their profile, then tap Edit.
5. You can Unsubscribe, Archive, or Delete the contact.

If you delete a contact, you permanently remove all of their information from your audience. If you need to reduce your contact count but don’t want to lose any data, we recommend you archive contacts rather than delete them.

Because billing is based on the peak contact total reached during each billing period, archiving won't lower a peak already recorded for the current period, but it can help reduce charges in future billing periods.
