To delete duplicate contacts on your iPhone, you can use several methods, including built-in features and third-party apps. Here's a detailed guide on how to do it:
Method 1: Using Contacts App (iOS 16 and Later)
- Launch the Contacts app on your iPhone.
- If duplicates are detected, you will see a prompt at the top of the screen that says View Duplicates. Tap on it.
- You can select individual duplicates to merge or tap Merge All to combine all duplicates simultaneously. Confirm the action when prompted.
Method 2: Merging Contacts Manually
- Tap the Contacts app. Locate one of the duplicate contacts and tap on it.
- Tap the Edit button in the upper right corner.
- Scroll down and select Link Contacts.... Choose the duplicate contact you want to merge with and tap Link.
- After linking, tap Done to save the changes.
Method 3: Using iCloud.com
- Go to iCloud.com and log in with your Apple ID. From the homepage, click on the Contacts icon.
- Hold down the Ctrl key (or Command on Mac) while clicking on the duplicates you want to delete.
- Click the gear icon in the bottom left corner and select Delete. Confirm the deletion in the pop-up window.
Additional Tip:
Before you make significant changes to your iPhone, remember to back up your iPhone first. Apply EaseUS MobiMover. It is a professional iPhone data transfer software that can export contacts from your iPhone to your computer, external hard drive, or other place for backup.
- Connect your iPhone to your computer and open EaseUS MobiMover.
- Click Backup Manager > Back up. Select the category of Contacts. (You can choose more to back up.)
- Click the One-Click Backup button to initiate the process.
