Hi sun65,


Thanks for reaching out about your merged contacts. We can help with this. This happens when you add an account where your contacts are stored to your iPhone. You can remove the account or just turn off "Contacts."


Go to Settings > Contacts > Accounts > tap on the account with the contacts > toggle off Contacts



Take Care.
