Hello,
I have a smartphone with emergency numbers already saved, like the SAMU, firefighters, child abuse hotline, missing children, etc.

I wanted to know how I can delete them.

Thank you.

    Hello.
    Go to the "contacts" app and delete the contacts you don't want.

    Thank you, Basfile. I know how to do it; it's the numbers that are already there. I can delete them. I go to contacts, and I only have the option to share, not delete, like the numbers I entered myself.

      Hello,

      This is likely about pre-installed contacts on the phone as part of the ICE application.

      Access to this feature varies by Android versions and phone brands.

      This ICE feature is integrated into all recent phones; it can be globally disabled, but it's uncertain whether you can specifically delete or modify certain numbers listed (for instance, emergency calls are automatically determined based on the SIM and the phone's sales area, 112 in France, 911 in the United States).
