Actually, I managed to solve this problem in a few minutes by visiting https://www.icloud.com/settings/, scrolling down to "Advanced settings", clicking "Restore contacts" and then roll back to an older backup of my contact list (before the Big Sur update). Now all my duplicates are gone ☺️
There should be a way to remove them en masse as opposed to one at a time.
Same problem here... All my contacts are duplicated.
I have over 20,000 duplicated contacts. I had 4,500 contacts, since installing Big Sur this afternoon I now have over 25,000. Some duplicates appear 50+ times. Nice work, Apple.
This isn't limited to iCloud, unfortunately. I have the same issue with contacts synced with a CalDAV server.

I also have the same problem. When I opened up iCloud I realized that all my contact groups were duplicated as well. I removed the duplicates, but the duplicated contacts are still there. Gah.
Works perfectly!!! Thank you for the tip.
Hi, i didnt find advanced settings on icloud website.
Ah, okay, has to be done on ipad or desktop
I cant open contacts app. get frozen each time. help
helpful!
This fixed my iCloud contacts but they still show up duplicated on all my devices.
Edit: After restoring iCloud contacts then disabling google contacts on my devices, this fixed the problem.
I also have duplicates in a password app. It seems the update has duplicated databases, not just contacts. Any fix for this, Apple?
This happened to me after the bug sur update and my contacts multiplied by 8! I downloaded an app called cleanup duplicate contacts and it worked instantly
Worked like a charm! Thank you.
