Using Contact Information

You can use the information on a contact’s Info screen to:

ÂÂ Create an email message in Mail, addressed to the contact ÂÂ Open the contact’s home page in Safari

ÂÂ Find the location of the contact’s address in Maps, and get directions ÂÂ Share the contact information with others

Use a contact’s info screen: Tap Contacts and choose a contact, then tap an item.

Unified 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, you can link contacts that have the same first and last name (but not a different prefix, suffix, or middle name) and display them as a single unified contact. When you view a unified contact, the title Unified Info appears at the bottom of the contact’s entry. Unified contacts appear only when you view the All Contacts list.

Link contacts: Find the first contact that you want to link, then tap Edit. Tap and select the other contact, then tap Link.

When a contact is linked, tap the silhouette icon to view, add, or delete linked entries.

Linked contacts aren’t merged. Unless you edit a unified contact, the contact in each source account remains separate. If you change information in a unified contact, the changes are copied to each source account that information already exists in. If you add information to a unified contact, that information is added to the contact in each source account.
