Hello JetWon,

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities! I understand that you have contacts from multiple sources that you would like to merge and sync across multiple devices. I would be happy to help. You can use iCloud to sync contacts across multiple devices, here's more information about how that works:

iCloud: What is iCloud Contacts?

The third-party contacts would first need to be exported as a vCard:

Export and archive contacts on Mac - Apple Support

After that, import the contacts to iCloud:

iCloud: Import a contact into iCloud Contacts

Enable iCloud Contacts to then sync the contacts across your devices. When you make a change on one device or computer, Contacts will update automatically:

Keep your contacts up to date on all of your devices with iCloud - Apple Support

Cheers!
