Let Siri know who’s who. While editing your My Info card, tap Add Related Name to define

sister.” You can also add relationships using Siri. Say, for example, “John Appleseed is my brother.”

contacts using Spotlight Search (see

the label and choose one from the list, or tap Custom Field to create one of your own.
Add your friends’ social profiles. While viewing a contact, tap Edit, then tap “add social profile.”
You can add Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Flickr, Myspace, and Sina Weibo accounts, or create a
custom entry.
Delete a contact. Go to the contact’s card, then tap Edit. Scroll down, then tap Delete Contact.
