It's not the worst thing that can happen to your smartphone, but if
you have a ton of duplicate contacts it can be really inconvenient when
you try to communicate with your friends and family, probably sending a
message or trying to reach an old number. Let alone trying to dial in
with the help of Google's voice assistant. The good news is that these
can be easily managed and organized.
From your phone
Android's stock phone app should be the first thing to try. Go to
your Contacts -- we tried this on LG and Samsung phones, but depending
on your phone's brand it can be a little different -- on the app, tap
the Menu button > Manage Contacts > then select Merge. A screen
with all repeated contacts will show up, so you can confirm which you
want to merge one by one.
From your desktop browser / Google Contacts
A second method is made available from your Google Account. Log in to
your Gmail Account and then go to your Contacts (or enter directly
from this link).
On the right sidebar there's a "Duplicates" option, which will show a
list with all the candidates to be merged. Select "Merge" on each and
you're done.
An additional word of caution
The two alternatives above are easy and accessible default options
that Google provides to merge contacts. Unless you have thousands of
contacts and hundreds of duplicates, they should serve you well. But an
additional word of caution. There are a ton of "free" apps on the Play
Store to merge contacts, however even if some of those promise to
automatically merge with one click, we wouldn't compromise on security
by letting a third-party ask for Google account credentials solely for
this purpose.
