Merging contact information

If you have stored contacts with the similar contact information such as name, email address, or mobile number in your phone and online accounts, your phone will try to link them as one automatically or create a list of matched contact suggestions. If it doesn’t, you can manually link them so that you won’t have duplicated entries in your contacts list.

Also link your contacts with other social network accounts such as Twitter and Flickr. You’ll then see their updates and events from these accounts all in one place.

Accepting matched contacts suggestions

When your phone finds contact information that can be merged, you’ll see the

Matched contact suggestions icon ( ) in the notification area of the status bar.

1.Slide down the Notifications panel, and then tap Matched contacts suggestion. Your phone displays all suggested contacts that you can merge.

2.Review the suggested links.

3.When there are contacts you don’t want to merge, tap to break the contact information link.

4.Tap OK.

If you don’t want to merge any of your contacts, tap Dismiss all.
