Hello Holograph-4000-IOS,


Thank you for following up. We'd be happy to provide additional guidance.


To link a contact, you'll want to open the Contacts app. Tap on a contact. Tap "Edit" in the upper right-hand corner. Then, scroll to the bottom of the page. There, you'll see a "Link Contact" option. When you tap on "Link Contact," you'll be taken back to your list of contacts where you'll be able to select which contact you'd like to link.


Linking contacts is mainly used when you have created two separate contact cards or contact entries for one contact.


We hope that helps. Take care.

Hello Melissa_m77


Sorry, it took so long to get get back to you.


To start with, I do not have a Mac computer or a Mac Laptop. I have an iPhone 11 Pro Max also an iPhone 11.


You suggested I read link contacts on a Mac. It referred to a field named cards in a Mac. I looked for a field on my iPhone, that was named cards, I didn't have one. I'm not sure if this was intended? If was, I didn't understand it.


Is there anything else that might help me?
