Look at the top menu and click the <strong>Card<\/strong>, then choose <strong>Look for duplicates<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>The app will go through all your contacts, and when it finds ones that are the same, it&#8217;ll put them together and remove the old ones that aren&#8217;t needed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When you use iCloud to sync your iPhone and Mac, it might take a few minutes, but the changes you made on your Mac will also happen on your iPhone.
