Unied contacts
When you sync contacts with multiple accounts, you might have entries for the same person
in more than one account. To keep redundant contacts from appearing in the All Contacts list,

unied contact. When you view a unied contact, the title Unied Info appears at the top of
the screen.
Link a contact: Tap Edit, the tap and choose a contact.
If you link contacts with dierent rst or last names, the names on the individual contacts won’t
change, but only one name appears on the unied card. To choose which name appears when
you view the unied card, tap the linked card with the name you prefer, then tap Use This Name
For Unied Card.
