contacts doubled up
how can I clean up Contacts on both Mac and iPhone when duplicates are present in both? iCloud.com does show duplicates in Contacts, too.
iPhone 11, iOS 14

If you have signed in with same Apple ID and password on the same network in Mac and iPhone or other apple devices the contacts on each device will get synced , if the same contacts are in devices they will be seen as duplicates ( as if you had already created contacts in Mac and the same are in iPhone ) .
To avoid it , disconnect the desired device by just signing out from Apple ID account , then delete the duplicate contacts in each device .
I guess I’ll disconnect iCloud from my Desktop. Is there an easier way to clean up Duplicates between both devices without having to scroll through Contacts on each and manually delete? I have sooo many, I’ll go crossed-eyed!
