How to remove merge or delete hundreds of duplicate contacts at once

How can I remove merge or delete hundreds of duplicate contacts at once without access to Mac? I moved from android to iOS using Apple’s app and it reproduced multiple copies of my gmail contacts. I removed the gmail account but the contacts remained.

Troubleshooting Duplicate Contacts:

Contact Apple Support:

  1. Go Here: If you See Duplicate Contacts after Setting Up iCloud Contacts - Apple Support
  2. As it Reads: If you see duplicates in Contacts on iCloud.com, visit Apple Support for help.


Apple Contact Info:

Why the Wait:

Phone calls are taking a bit to go through at the moment, due to lots of calls. With the Coronavirus Pandemic, many are at home at the moment, with much time on their hands to contact Apple. So, just stay on the line, and you will get through :)
