Contacts Recently Added list with One UI 7 Update

[usersCc8zWvNjj]

Just got One UI 7 update on my S23 Ultra and noticed that there is a "Recently Added" list in my Contacts that appears before my Favorites list. First, these contacts are/were not recently added contacts and, second, I cannot find a way to delete the list without deleting the contacts. The update seems to have randomly created this list, which is stupid! Please find a way for us to either delete this list or, at the very least, move it below the Favorites list.

It's so annoying.

It sure **bleep**g is. I don't know WHY this is marked as resolved when I don't see any replies. It is not resolved for me. I've looked through all the settings. This update has been absolute garbage

Agree!

Easier solution found than going 1 by 1. 

Settings>apps>phone>force stop>clear cache>clear data>close & reopen phone app & then go to contacts. Recently added section all gone!

I didn't get the clear cache option after force stop, but going to the force stop did finally clear the recently added section. Thank you!

This worked - thanks.

This worked! But seriously, WHY??

I have an S22+.  I did not have to force stop.  I did, however, clear the cache, left the settings page, and when I opened the phone again the recently added items were gone.  Thank you very much.

I fixed this - click each 'recently added' contact one by one, click the 'i' button for each one, then back out of the contact, and go to the next. One by one they will fall off of the recently added list until your favorites are at the top again.
