Why do I have multiple contacts for the same person?

Thanks for replying back, Birdiebirdie234. We understand that you have two accounts enabled in your Contacts app at this time. 

From what we understand, you may be seeing duplicated contacts because the same contact is stored in both accounts. In a situation like this, we would typically recommend that you move your contacts to one account and continue to use that single account going forward. 

The following Apple Support article has more information on how to manage your contacts, and how to turn Contacts on or off for a certain account: 

Manage and delete contacts on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

Please let us know if you have any questions. 

Enjoy!
