Hello jbauemr,


You can use these steps to merge duplicate contacts in the Contacts app:


1. Below My Card, tap Duplicates Found.
2. Tap individual contacts to review and merge them, or tap Merge All to merge all duplicate contacts.


If there's contacts that aren't automatically identified as duplicates, you can manually link them with these steps:


1. Tap one of the contacts, tap Edit, then tap Link Contacts.
2. Choose the other contact entry to link to, then tap Link.
