How to Merge Duplicate Contacts in Android With the Contacts App
The Contacts app is probably already on your phone, and you can download it for free from the Google Play store if it isn’t. This app has a tool that allows you to merge and fix your duplicate contacts.
Here’s how to use the merge and fix tool in Contacts for Android:
Open Contacts, and check the profile icon to make sure you’re using the correct Google account. If you’re on the wrong Google account, tap the profile icon and switch to the right one. Tap Fix & Manage. Tap Merge & Fix. Tap Merge duplicates. Verify that the contacts are duplicate, and tap Merge or Merge all. If the app has made a mistake, or it has found duplicates you want to keep separate, tap Dismiss. Make sure to dismiss any misidentified duplicates before you tap Merge all. Tap OK. Merged contacts will now appear as single contacts.
