Duplicate Contacts Detection
Contacts Journal will now help you quickly identify duplicate contact records, and can help merge the duplicates smartly into unified records. It’s an easy way to keep your contact list streamlined and clutter-free.
Important notes:
- Contacts Journal will flag duplicates when exactly all the contact information is the same between 2 or more contacts
- The data in the multiple records will be smartly merged so that there's no repeat contact information in the merged record. The final merged contact will contain all the Logs, ToDos, Files, Custom Fields, Tags and contact information between the selected contacts
- The check will run automatically, every few minutes, or when you quit and relaunch the app.
- To manually run the Duplicate Contacts check, go to More -> General Settings -> Contact Settings -> "Check Duplicate Contacts Now"
- You can manually select multiple contacts and merge them as well (see below)
- Public Contacts that are merged will first need to be deleted from the Apple Contacts app, and the merged contact will be added again as a new contact
Merge Contacts
You can manually select multiple contacts to merge them as well. Select multiple contacts from the contacts list, press-and-hold and choose "Merge" from the context menu. On the next page, you'll be able to make any changes you need to the contact information, and select "Merge" to confirm the changes.
Dark Mode Icon
Contacts Journal now includes a redesigned app icon that supports Dark Mode! The icon automatically adapts based on your device’s appearance settings—switching seamlessly between light and dark styles to better match your home screen.
More New Features:
- "Add Custom Field" option now available from the contact's list page context-menu, when you press-and-hold a contact, so you can add information without having to open the contact and navigating to the Fields page
- You can 'copy' a File to the pasteboard, and paste it into another app
- You can also drag-and-drop a file to the Files app, or any other app that supports it
