For iPhone

Merge and delete duplicate contacts on your iPhone.

Contacts Cleaner finds contacts that share a name or a phone number, combines each set into one complete contact, and clears out the ones you no longer need.

Pro is a one-time purchase. No subscription.

A cleaner address book in a few taps

Years of syncing iCloud, Gmail and old phones leave the same people saved two or three times. Contacts Cleaner finds them for you.

Duplicates by name

Groups contacts saved under the same name, even when the capitals differ, so “alex morgan” and “Alex Morgan” show up side by side.

Duplicates by phone number

Finds contacts that share the same main phone number, even when they're saved under different names.

Merge into one contact

Combines names, phone numbers, emails, addresses, birthdays, related people, social profiles and photos into a single contact. Merge one group or all of them.

Delete multiple contacts

Select as many contacts as you like, or select all, and delete them together instead of one at a time in the Contacts app.

Incomplete contacts

Lists contacts without a name, without a phone number or without an email, so you can fix them or remove them.

Backup and restore

Save your whole address book as a vCard (.vcf) file, share it, and bring back any contacts you deleted by mistake.

How to remove duplicate contacts on iPhone

The whole cleanup usually takes a couple of minutes.

  1. Back up first

    Create a backup in the app. It's a standard vCard file you can keep, share or restore from later.

  2. Review the duplicates

    Open Similar Names or Matching Numbers and check each group. Tap a contact to see all of its details.

  3. Merge or delete

    Merge a group into one contact, merge every group at once, or delete the copies you don't want.

Back up your iPhone contacts to a vCard file

A backup is one .vcf file with all your contacts in it. vCard is the standard format that the Contacts app, Gmail and Outlook can all import.

  • Create a backup whenever you like and keep as many as you need.
  • Share a backup by AirDrop, Mail or Files, or save it somewhere safe.
  • Open a backup to browse the contacts inside it.
  • Restore only the contacts you pick. Ones already in your address book are skipped, so restoring doesn't create new duplicates.
