Linking Contacts
Because the People hub aggregates your
contacts from multiple sources, you might end up with multiple entries
for the same person. Although Windows automatically attempts to find
and merge all the profile information for that person and display it as
a single contact, sometimes it misses and a contact appears in your
list more than once. Fortunately, Windows Phone 8 enables you to
manually merge contacts by linking them. To do so, open the People hub
and follow these steps:
1. Tap the contact you want to link.
2. Tap the Link icon.
3. Tap the profile you want to add to this contact’s Linked Profiles, and then press your phone’s Back button.
Manually Choosing
If the contact you want to link doesn’t
appear in the Suggested Links list, you can tap the Choose a Contact
link and manually select someone from your entire contacts list.
4. Verify that the
Link icon displays a number 2, indicating that there are two linked
profiles. If necessary, you can link more than two profiles.
5. Tap the Back button and verify that there is only one listing for the linked profile.
