How Do I Delete Duplicate Contacts On My iPhone?

Modern tech has taken away the need to jot things down with pen and paper. Before, we had to own a book that contained names, addresses, and phone numbers of everybody close to us, but not anymore. We now have our iPhone’s Contacts application to take care of that.

Sadly, the process of saving your contacts’ info on your phone is not reliable all the time. At times, iCloud errors or syncing problems between your iOS device and email account can result in the presence of duplicated contacts on your smartphone.

Luckily, this problem has a simple solution that should not take your time at all. And this is all you have to do:
