For those of you who have hundreds of contacts, this guide will be great for you, so let’s go through it.
How to delete duplicate contacts that we have on our phone
- The first thing is to have version 1.5 of Google Contacts installed that has just been updated today
- You download it from here:
- Now the next thing is to open it and we go to the hamburger menu or the side navigation panel on the left
- From this space, we will find a section called “Duplicates”
- We press it and the phone will quickly show us the cards with the duplicate contacts. Each of these cards will show the times we have the contact filed in the phone book
- Click on “Link” in each of the cards and the contacts will be merged automatically, which in itself will facilitate many things when it comes to having our agenda properly organized
An app that is characterized by including labels to classify groups of contacts, so if you want to have everything organized, come and explore that app well, it is a great help.
