This week I went through a traumatic experience that I think we all go through often....Yes, I did say traumatic! And yes I lost my iPhone. The great thing about apple products is that the software on it comes with a "Find iPhone' app and you can locate your phone. So I went ahead and went into the app with another apple product except instead of tapping on the "Lost Mode" option, I tapped on "Erase iPhone". So I did find my phone but when I got it back my photos and contacts were all erased. Once I synced my contacts back unto my phone, I had 1500 contacts that were mostly duplicates. Yes I had like 15 Carlos's and 10 Kim's, 30 Jessica's and 20 Mom's on my contact lists! It would have taken forever to fix that! So after searching for an app I found one! I thought I would share with everyone in case this ever happens to you.
Needless to say this blog is will touch base on an awesome app called Cleanup Dupes. It isn't a free app but its pretty reasonable for the price of $0.99. I got my sanity back and it took care of the dupes quickly. The app literally took 45 seconds to load my contacts and erase the dupes.
The app will scan your contacts and you will configure the merge level by 100% matches. After that it will run a scan in the dupes. It will present you with the results. You can choose to remove the matches or merge only some of the selection of dupes. the cool thing about this app is that it works with Gmail and iCloud to keep all dupes contacts from showing on your actual phone.
Again this app can be very beneficial as it was for me!
glad you found your phone. Everytime I upgrade my mom's phone, we always end up with a craza amount of dupes! thanks for finding it!
