Hi!

If you have problems with duplicate contacts on your iPhone 14 Pro Max, you can try removing them manually. In the Contacts app, you can link contact cards for the same person in different accounts so that they only appear once in the "All Contacts" list. If you have more than one contact card with the same name and last name, you can merge the duplicate contacts. Under "My Tab", tap "Duplicates were found". Tap individual contacts to check and merge them, or tap "Merge All" to merge all duplicate contacts.


If the problem persists, you may want to check and possibly turn off syncing contacts with a cloud service. To do so, open Settings and search for "Contacts". From there, you can manage contact sync settings with the various cloud services you’re connected to.


I hope I helped you!
