WhatsApp Favorites to many

[polwirtz]

Whatsapp puts up all (hundreds) of my x-thousand contacts into my Favorites, just because they do have the Whatsapp app.This makes some sense (to WhatsApp ?) - but I want to delete them ALL together (not one by one!!) and register some 30 real favourites / real friends !
Any suggestion ?

Welcome to iPhoneForums, polwirtz!

To remove all of the favorites at once, go to the Favorites tab in Whatsapp and tap "Edit":

Instead ot tapping every - afterwards, select Delete All:

And confirm that you wish to remove them all:

After removing them, your Favorites tab will look like this:

Tap the + at the top right to add your favorites.
