Show or hide a group: Tap Groups, then select the groups you want to see. This button only
appears if you have more than one source of contacts.
When you have contacts from multiple sources, you might have multiple entries for the same
person. To keep redundant contacts from appearing in the 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 at the top of the screen.
Link a contact: Edit a contact, tap Edit, then tap Link Contact and choose a contact.
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.
