Hello Auntneet53,


Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. We understand that you're looking for an option to delete duplicate contacts showing on your iOS device. We'd like to check a couple of things.


  • Are you only using iCloud for your Contacts? If you're not sure, you can check this in Settings > Contacts > Accounts.
  • If using more than one account, have you tried disabling the non-iCloud account? If not, give that a try. Doing this won't impact the data contained in the secondary account.
  • Do you happen to have access to a computer? If so, you could follow the direction provided in article, If you see duplicate contacts after setting up iCloud Contacts.


We look forward to hearing back from you soon.


Best regards.

Thank you for your reply Eric - where is the card menu? I’m in Contacts on my computer. I see “All Contacts” and underneath “card”. When I highlight card & select all, the only option to export is as a PDF. Is this correct? I don’t see any option to merge duplicates. Sorry - I wasn’t in Contacts - I was in iCloud.com. I see it all now. Thank you for your help!
