Link a contact

When your smartphone recognizes matching information in two or more contacts—for example, the same name and phone number—it automatically gathers the info from the two records into a single view that displays all the contact information. You can also manually link contacts. The info for your linked contacts appears combined only on your smartphone; the actual info is kept separate and distinct in the accounts it came from.

IMPORTANT To maintain the integrity of your contact data, it’s important that you link only one person’s contact info in different accounts. For example, if you have contact info for Emily Weeks in Google, Facebook, Microsoft Exchange, and your Palm profile account, go ahead and link all four contacts into a linked contact. But don’t link Emily’s contact info with her sister Allison’s.

2Search for a contact (see Find a contact), and tap the contact name.

3In the open entry, tap the contact name in the header, and tap Link more profiles.

4Search for the contact (see Find a contact) and tap it to link the two contacts.

5(Optional) After you create the link, you can ensure that the linked contact appears in your Contacts list under the name you’re most likely to recognize (and not, say, under a person’s IM screen name, which can be unrelated to their real name). To do this, tap the contact name you want to appear, and tap Set As Primary Profile.
