Merging Entries in People
Merge duplicated entries in People to avoid clutter and
confusion. If the same contact appears in your Phone
Hub, Gmail, and Facebook accounts, you can merge
the contact information into one entry.
The device automatically merges entries that it finds to
have similar data. If you need to manually merge
entries or break the link between entries, follow the
procedures below.
Manually Merging Entries in People
If you have the same contacts stored in your phone
and online accounts such as Windows Live and
Facebook, your phone will try to link them as one
automatically. If it doesn’t, you can manually link them
so that you won’t have duplicated entries in your
