How to Merge Duplicate Contacts on iPhone — Saving some phone numbers of the same person makes our contacts look messy. For example, the person’s name is Alex. When we save the numbers of Alex, it will be impossible to save it just by using his name ‘Alex’ for all the phone numbers. We usually name it as Alex, Alex 1, Alex 2 and etc. I am sure that some of us will choose to save those contacts under one name, which is Alex to avoid confusion about ‘which number I should contact to reach him?’. So what should we do to solve this kind of problem? Well, saving several numbers under one name is actually possible on iPhone. We can just merge those phone numbers and make them listed under one name. If you want to know the detailed steps of how to do that, please read the next paragraph.
Here are the steps of How to Merge Duplicate Contacts on iPhone that you can follow:
- Launch the Phone app on your iPhone.
- Then, tap the Contacts at the bottom of the screen.
- After that, tap one of the contacts that are duplicated.
- Now, tap the Edit menu on the top-right corner of the screen.
- Scroll down the screen to the bottom of the menu list and select Link Contacts.
- Once you select the menu, your contacts will be popped up. Now, locate the duplicate contacts that you want to merge into a single contact and open it.
- If there are more duplicate entries, please select Link Contacts, and then repeat it.
- Tap the Done button when you finish linking all duplicate contacts. If you want to unlink those contacts, you can just simply tap the red minus next to the contact you wish to unlink.
