Hi there tmelton1949,


We have great help for handling your duplicate contacts on your iPhone. First, here is our best guide: Get rid of duplicate contacts on iPhone - Apple Support


  1. Open the Contacts app.
  2. Make sure you have the Contacts list selected.
  3. Just underneath your My Card, you should see "Duplicates Found".
  4. Tap Duplicate Found.
  5. From here, you can tap individual contacts to review and merge them, or tap Merge all.


If you only have a few contacts to merge, you can also do so manually:


Link contacts manually

If two entries for the same person aren’t linked automatically, you can unify them manually.
1. Tap one of the contacts, tap Edit, then tap Link Contacts.
2. Choose the other contact entry to link to, then tap Link.


All the best.
