Contacts showing up 3 times?

im having an issue where my contacts are shown 3 times but also in my text messages several of my contacts just show the phone numbers. Not actual names.

I have contacts through my Outlook contacts.

Any advice?

Hey PatD618,


If we understand correctly, your contacts are showing 3 times. Contacts could be duplicated in an app if there are multiple accounts signed in and syncing the Contact data to it.

Which app are you seeing the duplicates in?


If you see duplicate contacts after setting up iCloud Contacts


Please don't hesitate to let us know if the steps resolved your issue or if you need additional assistance.
