The world 'Contacts' on an Android mobile is a real drag. And if ours does not have a pure Android operating system, but instead includes a custom layer from the manufacturer, the synchronization of contacts may give some other failure. This happens with Xiaomi phones, although the solution is very simple. Another problem that we may find related to contacts is that of your organization. Over time and with continued use of our phone we have saved hundreds of phone numbers that may be out of order, not related to a contact, duplicates, etc. In this last problem we are going to stop today with a tutorial that will be very useful, especially if you tend to be a bit disorganized with your contacts and you sense that you have more than one duplicate. Yes,this tutorial is specific to Xioami phones.
To combine duplicate contacts and put a little order in your phone book, you will only need to have your Xioami phone in your hand, no third-party applications or intrusive programs. Only with a couple of gestures we can combine, in a second, all the contacts that we have duplicates. It is very easy to do but the option is a bit hidden, so many users are unaware that it exists. Take your mobile and follow the steps to discover how many repeated contacts you had in your agenda.
- First, we have to open the phone application, the one we use to call… less and less. This application has two distinct tabs. Well, we have to click on the one that says 'Contacts' to access our phone book.
- On the right side of the screen, in the three-point menu, click and a small pop-up window will open. We click on 'Settings'.
- We are going to look for the section 'Combine duplicate contacts'. On the screen below, the system will explain the operation to be carried out. To start with this operation, just click on the 'Combine' button .
- Finally, the list of duplicate contacts will appear on the next screen if you have any. Click on 'Merge' again and voila, you will have got rid of duplicate contacts.
