How to Unshare Contacts That You Have Shared With Others
If you have accidentally shared a contact label with the wrong user, or perhaps need to revoke access from an old employee, ContactsFlow™ (formerly Shared Contacts for Gmail™) has you covered. Don’t worry, it’s easy to unshare contacts.
We highly recommend that our users manage and edit their Google contacts from ContactsFlow™ (formerly Shared Contacts for Gmail™).

Whether you would like to unshare contacts from an individual or a group, follow these simple steps below:
- Sign in to your shared contacts manager.
Click on the “Sign in” button at the top of your screen.
- Click on the collaborator avatars of the label that has the user you would like to remove.
- Click the bin icon on the right side of the collaborator’s row to remove them.
- Then, click Save to apply the changes.
Unshare from Google Contacts
Install the Chrome extension to unshare contacts from Google Contacts.
If you don’t have it yet, download it from the Chrome Web Store. Once installed, (1) open Google Contacts and click the Share icon next to the label. This will open the collaborator window. Then, (2) click the bin icon on the right side of the collaborator’s row to remove their access, then (3) click Save to apply the changes.
See, that was easy! You have successfully unshared your contact label(s) in a matter of a few seconds. There is also no notification to the person that you have unshared the contact label.
