How to clean up contacts

i have iCloud contacts

i have yahoo contacts

i have gmail contacts

i have tried before to fix duplicates

but they keep coming back

i have tried syncing my gmail to my iCloud

it seems good idea to save back up to iCloud

but

if I break / lose this phone and end up as before with an android for a while can I download iCloud contacts to android?

i have tried syncing yahoo contacts with iCloud contacts

but yahoo continues to hold 235 contacts while I cloud only has 187

also I am not able to fix duplicates in yahoo or gmail on my iPhone

why please7

Troubleshooting Duplicate Contacts:


Contact Apple Support:

  1. Go Here: If you See Duplicate Contacts after Setting Up iCloud Contacts - Apple Support
  2. As it Reads: If you see duplicates in Contacts on iCloud.com, visit Apple Support for help.
  3. Report back the fix.


Apple Contact Info:

  • Contact Us - Choose Locations
  • Proceed from there, as necessary
  • Why the Wait: Phone calls are taking a bit to go through at the moment, due to lots of calls. With the Coronavirus Pandemic, many are at home at the moment, with much time on their hands to contact Apple. So, just stay on the line, and you will get through :)
