Contacts Issue

For some reason my contacts list has doubled up every entry and eliminated some from my favorites list in the phone. This happened after the latest update. It is and Iphone 12 mini. Any ideas?


Thanks

You may have the same contacts in multiple email accounts. Either remove the contacts from the rarely used email account or disable contacts from the rarely used mail account in the Mail app.


Unlike some Android devices, contacts are neither stored locally on an iPhone nor in SIM. They are synced to an email account that you had Google, iCloud, AOL, Exchange, Outlook, Yahoo or any Other
