You may observe your Android phone creates two or more than two copies of a single contact. Here’s how to find and delete or merge duplicates from the contacts list on an Android smartphone or tablet?
Multiple entries of the same contact, with the same phone number, is a nuisance for many Android phone users.
How Duplicate Contacts are created on an Android phone?
If you have a Google account, like Gmail, Google+ account. Android devices can sync contacts from Google, Twitter, Facebook, etc. And all your contact lists are automatically saved in Google contacts.
And to top it social media syncing provides additional details like email address, contact image, etc without the user’s manual effort, adding to the menace of duplicity.
So it’s very likely that you will end up with two or more different contact records for a person, one containing an email address and primary number while another one containing work number and image.
