I am making an applications that creates contacts in the iPhones address book. This sometimes leads to duplicate entries when adding contacts to many sources (i.e. exchange, CardDAV, Local, etc.)

I need to be able to link these duplicate contacts in the address book. I have found that this is not possible for any two arbitrary contacts in this thread.

However, all i need is for the "auto-linking" that occurs when a new source is enabled on the phone to be triggered. This auto-linking causes all similar contacts to be linked together automatically, which is exactly what i want.

The only solution i can find is to ask the user to disable/enable their sources, but it would be much smoother if this could be triggered automatically.

Anybody have an idea how to solve this? Any help is appreciated.

  • Not exactly an answer, but related to your question... This answer says that automatic linking can occur between contacts with the same name if they are from different accounts: https://stackoverflow.com/a/38523203/3791490 – Matt Apr 23 '22 at 04:02
