Here is a list of 5 free iPhone apps to find duplicate contacts. These apps scan your contact list and display the duplicate contacts to you automatically.

You might have noticed that when you sign in to your Gmail, Facebook, Yahoo, etc. accounts for the first time through your iPhone, there is always a popup asking whether you would like to sync your address book with the contacts in these accounts. Most of the times we end up clicking yes to this. What this does is it creates a lot of duplicate contacts, even empty contacts for people in the address book. There is one entry from Google contacts, one from Facebook and one from the phone book for the same person.  We usually don’t notice this until we need to call someone and then we see 3 entries. Then we have to tap each one and see which one has the number to be called. These duplicate contacts also eat up some of the crucial part of your iPhone’s memory which you can utilize for storing other important contacts.

To find out these duplicate contacts manually can prove to be a really tiresome and time consuming. So to help you get around this, we have a list of 5 free iPhone apps to find duplicate contacts which will help you to save both phone memory as well as time.

1. Contact Duster:

Contact Duster

The first iPhone app to find duplicate contacts is Contact Duster. You can use this app to clean out all the duplicate and zombie contacts. The email addresses in your contact list which are linked to any contact are known as the zombie contacts. After scanning the contacts, the app displays all the contacts by dividing them into 3 categories in the form of a pie-chart: Safe Contacts, Zombie Contacts, and Duplicate Contacts. You can check all the duplicate and zombie contacts by tapping on the Report option. After watching the report, you can manually delete the contacts which you want to delete. However, the app also has an Auto Dust feature for auto cleaning of contacts but you need to spend some bucks to get this privilege.
