Duplicate iCloud contacts appear in contacts on iPad

My seventh generation iPad shows some contacts in duplicate. How can I merge the duplicates to be only included once in the listed contacts?

My problem was duplicates in Contacts only on my iPad.

The duplicates were not seen on iCloud.com Contacts.

Finally found other info that helps.

If you go to a contact card that is duplicated, click EDIT and scroll down the page to LINK CONTACTS

Click on it, then click on the duplicate and the two will merge to one on your list.


Thanks for your quick response. Hope the info I gave above will assist you and others in the future.
