Linked contacts

My girlfriend was playing with my iPhone 11pro max and i noticed her contact on my phone has linked contacts(iCloud and gmail specifically)on her contact profile info..none of my other contacts have this so I’m curious as to what this is and how do I remove it. Thanks

iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 15

Welcome Ryan-overtinking7,


Thanks for connecting with Apple Support Communities.

In the Contacts app, link contact cards for the same person in different accounts so they appear only once in your All Contacts list. When you have contacts from multiple sources, you might have multiple entries for the same person in Contacts. To keep redundant contacts from appearing in your All Contacts list, contacts from different sources with the same name are linked and displayed as a single unified contact.

More details found here: Hide duplicate contacts on iPhone


Cheers!
