Multiple duplicate contacts can be confusing and take up unnecessary space on the iPhone. As a result, many users search for ways to <strong>merge duplicate contacts on iPhone<\/strong>. If you are also on the list of users who want to manage and organize duplicate contacts on iPhones, this blog is for you. Here, we will discuss the manual process of doing so. Additionally, for users who want to find a more convenient solution, we recommend the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.macsonik.com\/vcf-duplicate-remover\/\">vCard Duplicate Remover Tool<\/a> to merge or delete duplicate iPhone Contacts. Next, let&#8217;s move on to the blog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"row justify-content-center ms_btn_sec my-3\"><div class=\"col-md-6\"><ul class=\"nav nav-tabs justify-content-center mb-3\" id=\"myTab\" role=\"tablist\"><li class=\"nav-item\"><a class=\"nav-link px-4 rounded-0 text-dark active\" id=\"mac-tab\" data-toggle=\"tab\" href=\"#mac\" role=\"tab\" aria-controls=\"mac\" aria-selected=\"true\"><i class=\"icon-apple\"><\/i> Mac<\/a><\/li><li class=\"nav-item\"><a class=\"nav-link px-4 rounded-0 text-dark\" id=\"windows-tab\" data-toggle=\"tab\" href=\"#windows\" role=\"tab\" aria-controls=\"windows\" aria-selected=\"false\"><i class=\"icon-windows\"><\/i> Windows<\/a><\/li><\/ul><div class=\"tab-content text-center\" id=\"myTabContent\"><div class=\"tab-pane fade show active\" id=\"mac\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"mac-tab\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.macsonik.com\/dl\/macsonik-vcf-duplicate-remover.dmg\" class=\"btn btn-download mr-3\"><i class=\"icon-download-1\"><\/i> Download Now<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.macsonik.com\/vcf-duplicate-remover\/buy.php\" class=\"btn btn-buy\"><i class=\"icon-basket\"><\/i> Purchase Now<\/a><\/div><div class=\"tab-pane fade\" id=\"windows\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"windows-tab\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.macsonik.com\/dl\/macsonik-vcf-duplicate-remover-win.exe\" class=\"btn btn-download mr-3\"><i class=\"icon-download-1\"><\/i> Download Now<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.macsonik.com\/vcf-duplicate-remover\/buy.php\" class=\"btn btn-buy\"><i class=\"icon-basket\"><\/i> Purchase Now<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The simplest way to merge duplicate contacts on iPhone is using the search feature. However, it is good practice to remove duplicates of some contacts. Also, this only works if you know which contact is multiplied. You can use the search feature to manually detect duplicates and remove them. But, if you have multiple duplicates and you can&#8217;t delete them manually, here is another reliable method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_85 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-light-blue ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #0a0a0a;color:#0a0a0a\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #0a0a0a;color:#0a0a0a\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.macsonik.com\/blog\/merge-duplicate-contacts-on-iphone\/#Manually_Merge_Duplicate_Contacts_on_iPhone\" >Manually Merge Duplicate Contacts on iPhone<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.macsonik.com\/blog\/merge-duplicate-contacts-on-iphone\/#Professional_Solution_to_Delete_Duplicate_Contacts_on_iPhone\" >Professional Solution to Delete Duplicate Contacts on iPhone<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.macsonik.com\/blog\/merge-duplicate-contacts-on-iphone\/#Merge_Duplicate_Contacts_on_iPhone_Using_VCF_Duplicate_Remover\" >Merge Duplicate Contacts on iPhone Using VCF Duplicate Remover<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.macsonik.com\/blog\/merge-duplicate-contacts-on-iphone\/#Additional_Features_of_MacSonik_VCF_Duplicate_Remover\" >Additional Features of MacSonik VCF Duplicate Remover<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-4' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-4'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.macsonik.com\/blog\/merge-duplicate-contacts-on-iphone\/#Conclusion\" >Conclusion<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Manually_Merge_Duplicate_Contacts_on_iPhone\"><\/span><strong>Manually Merge Duplicate Contacts on iPhone<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Follow the steps given below to merge duplicate contacts on iPhone:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Launch the Phone app on your iPhone.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tap on <strong>Contacts<\/strong> at the bottom center of the screen.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Under the \u2018<strong>My Card<\/strong>\u2019 you will get a pop-up message if your iPhone has duplicate Contacts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tap on <strong>View Duplicates<\/strong> to see the list of duplicate contacts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The list of all contacts with duplicate information appears.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click on <strong>Merge All<\/strong> to merge all duplicate contacts on iPhone.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This way duplicate contacts will be merged as a single contact card.
