When you move your Apple contacts from one device to another, you sometimes end up with duplicates. Luckily, there are easy ways to delete these contacts using your iPhone, Mac, or even your browser, and avoid ending up with ten different copies of the same person on your phone.

Luckily, iOS has come a long way and now you can quickly view and merge duplicate contacts on your iPhone. It’s easy: open the Contacts app and scroll to the top of the list. If you have duplicate contacts on your phone, you’ll see a card that says Duplicate Found under your name. Tap View Duplicates and select Merge All to restore duplicate contacts to your iPhone.

A few seconds later, the Contacts app will show you how many duplicates you have. There’s a checkbox in this pop-up asking if you want to merge other contacts that have the same name but different information, such as two entries for John Doe, one of which has his phone number and the other has his email address. You can check this box if you want, but it’s optional.

When you’re ready, click Merge. The Contacts app will do the rest.
