Troubleshooting: Contacts

My contacts weren't merged automatically

Your BlackBerry device automatically merges contacts when it's clear that those contacts are the same
person (for example, they share the same first and last name, mobile phone number, BlackBerry ID, and
so on). If you still see duplicate entries in your contact list, you can merge those contacts into one entry.

1. In the Contacts app, touch and hold a contact.
2. Tap .
3. Tap the contacts that you want to merge.
4. Tap .

My contacts' pictures change sometimes

If you added a social networking account to your BlackBerry device and you're using a profile picture as
a contact's picture, then the picture changes when your contact changes his or her profile picture.

To remove duplicate contact entries by deleting your local device data, do the following:

1. On the home screen, swipe down from the top of the screen.
2. Tap Settings > Accounts.
3. Tap .
4. Tap Clear Local Contacts.

CAUTION: Clearing your local data will permanently delete any contact entries that you saved only
locally to your device.
