When I updated my computer version to Big Sur, my contacts in icloud, computer and in my phone were duplicated.
Could the update be the reason for it?
How can I fix this?
iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 14
Followup - Found it - Open Contacts >> Menu Bar >> Card and pop down menu look for Duplicate
Are you using iCloud for All Apple Services including Contacts? It might be possible that during the upGrade to Big Sur that service was OFF and then turned back ON. In which case, Local Copies of All contacts would happen. Check in Contacts app and look for On Mac ( Local ) and iCloud.
Personally, I would make a Time Machine Backup right away. Then get a reliable external drive and Export ALL Contacts to external drive - incase something goes sideways at lease there are copies available. In the Contacts App - this is memory talking now as am right now on a Windows - maybe in Edit of some other menu look for Find Duplicates - should present and delete the duplicates.
Yes, i´m using iCloud for all my devices. I checked the contacts app and on Mac I have no contacts. They are all on icloud and every single one of them is duplicated. Don´t know what happened.
Do you know how to easily delete all the duplicated ones?
Thanks
