Q: In Contacts, "add address" field inserts address 3 times

Not sure how to report IOS 7.x bug to apple as user so posting here.

Here is how the bug can be re-created.

1. Go to Contacts App directly or tap Phone App, select Contacts at bottom.

2. Tap on any contact name to open.

3. Select Edit (top right).

3. Scroll down to "add address" and select it.

4. Provide Street,City,State,Zip

5. Select Done.

Now, should have added that address info you put. But, instead of adding one address, it adds 3 times the same address. I am having hard time comprehending why ?

Any work around ?

    I am unable to replicate your problem on my iphone or ipad.

     

    try closing the contacts app completely, (double tap home button and swipe the app preview up off screen)

    Restart device

    try again.

    Here is what I see happening. If I create new contact and add address to it than it adds only one copy of address like you expect.

     

    In my case, somehow each contact has at bottom, the field called "LINKED CONTACTS" with 3 sub-fields like iCloud, CardDAV, Gmail. Not sure, where they came from. But, looks like because of these 3 fields, add address function adds it 3 times. Not sure but looks like some kind of connection !!

     

    For the new contact with nothing under LINKED CONTACTS, such problem does not appear. So, should i unlink(iCloud,CardDAV,Gmail) from all contacts and if I do than any impact ? Thanks.
