    Unify contacts
    When you have contacts from multiple sources, you might have multiple entries for the same 
    person. To keep redundant contacts from appearing in your All Contacts list, contacts from 
    different sources that have the same name are linked and displayed as a single unified contact. 
    When you view a unified contact, the title Unified Info appears. 
    Link contacts. If two entries for the same person aren’t linked automatically, you can unify them 
    manually. Edit one of the contacts, tap Edit, tap Link Contact, then choose the other contact entry 
    to link to.
    Linked contacts aren’t merged. If you change or add information in a unified contact, the 
    changes are copied to each source account where that information already exists.
    If you link contacts with different first or last names, the names on the individual cards won’t 
    change, but only one name appears on the unified card. To choose which name appears when 
    you view the unified card, tap Edit, tap the linked card with the name you prefer, then tap Use 
    This Name For Unified Card.
