The same person shows up twice. How do I merge them?
Imports sometimes split one person into "Mom" and a phone number. Merge combines them into one contact.
If the same person appears under two names, usually a name and a phone number, you can combine them.
- 1
Open "Contacts" in the sidebar and find one of the duplicates.
- 2
Open the contact menu next to the name and choose "Merge contact".
- 3
Select which contact to merge into and click "Merge". All messages move to the contact you picked.
Important: Merging cannot be undone, and the merged contact is removed from the chapter. You can always rename the remaining contact afterward.
