Contact Groups Duplicated iOs 8.2

I am using iphone5S and ios 8.2. My icloud contacts comprises of multiple contact groups. After upgrading to ios8 , I noticed that these contact groups are duplicated or triplicated. Any solution?

I had exactly the same issue, I solved it by restoring my phone to a previous backup where I still have my contacts (I recommend you do another backup before) make sure you deactivate the synchronization of your contacts with your ICloud account so you don´t allow ICloud to erase your contacts again ( do this before restoring) , Once you get your contacts back download a contact backup app, ( i bought the MCBackupPro which you can also use for free if you have less than 500 contacts). Keep them in a safe place and just be careful not to active the iCloud sync tab for your contacts on your phone SETTINGS> ICLOUD>CONTACTS TAB MUST BE OFF. Go to iCloud.com and upload your contacts file (.VCF) on the cloud so you have them backed up just in case, I recommend you do this once a month or after you add many contacts.

How do I create a contact group on iOS 8

How do I create a contact group on iOS 8, I'm trying to make a new new group for my iphone 6. I've made a group on my older IOS but it's changed on the new IOS 8.

You cannot create a contact group in the built in Contacts app. If your contacts sync with iCloud you can log in to https://icloud.com and manage contact groups there. Or with a contact app on your computer that syncs with iCloud. Alternatively, there are several iPhone apps that are more powerful than the built in Contacts app. You can use one of them to manage groups and contacts within groups. I use Speed Names, but there are several others.

Help with Contact "Groups" in iOS 6

I could easily create favorites and groups before, but since updating to iOS 6, I still have the groups tab, which are empty, and I can find no way to create Groups. I've searched and searched, and the only things I find are from 2011, and they all tell me to use Outlook on my PC, and plug the phone into the PC, and create groups using Outlook.
Well, I love not having to always connect my phone to sync, etc., and I DON'T use Outlook, nor should I be forced to use a MS program with my iPhone 4... Can someone tell me how to create groups in my iPhone 4, using the phone and Contacts to do so??
And I'm going to scream if the only answer is that I have to install MS Office, just to get Outlook, and then plug my phone in to my laptop and use a MS tool to do something on my APPLE device!
That's insane if that is STILL how you must do it. Should be as easy as clicking "Group", then when the empty Group page opens, click an "add Group".. Why wouldn't they do that (I'm hoping that someone will post that it is that easy, and I don't have to install Outlook)..
Thanks in advance!

Second day after updating to iOS 6 on my iPhone 4, my contacts have duplicated. Probably not all but many, and my contacts already numbered in the thousands. Please tell me there is an easy fix to this problem!! I already had to go through contact-by-co

Second day after updating to iOS 6 on my iPhone 4, my contacts have duplicated. Probably not all but many, and my contacts already numbered in the thousands.
Please tell me there is an easy fix to this problem!! I already had to go through contact-by-contact when I bought this phone and added contacts from my Blackberry and MS Outlook on the phone. Many duplicated at that time and Apple said the only fix was to go through each one and decide to keep or delete. I really don't want to do that again!

I had this problem while I had iOS 5.1.1 installed for many months. Fortunately I only have about 150 contacts and only about half of them duplicated. I found that my problem was the way thing were set up in Outlook. I removed all of the duplicates and corrected everything in Outlook contacts (ignoring the address book) and have not had the problem since, Hope this helps.

I just downloaded Maverick last week, and ALL of my contact groups have duplicated. When I use one to send a group e-mail, everything is doubled in the address bar. Any suggestions? Very frustrating.

Hello Joannah,
Thank you for details of the issue you are experiencing with duplicates in Contacts after upgrading to OS X Mavericks. I would be frustrated by this too.
If you have enabled iCloud Contacts, I recommend following the steps in the article below:
iCloud: Resolving duplicate Contacts after setting up iCloud Contacts
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4147
If you’re not using iCloud, I recommend this article instead:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Right, I finally managed to get it sorted out.
iCloud only accept version 3.0 vcards, and the one I was using were version 2.1 so that's why it wasn't picking it up. So the easy way to get that sorted out is, use a gmail account.
I know you don't wanna do it because you think it's too much hassle and stuff, but trust me it only takes 5 minutes and that's it.
1. Create a Gmail Account.
2. Export your Old VCard files to the Gmail Account.
3. Now Import them from Gmail to your PC again.
And, that's it, that's just makes the new imported version in 1 file contains your all contacts in version 3.0. Now you can just upload that on icloud and then sync it with your iphone.
That's what I did and it worked, and I am sure if you wanna replace this file in the Contacts folder under your User Account in Windows and then try to sync Contacts in Tunes, it should work, but as I said, I did it with iCloud and it worked for me. So aye, that's pretty much it. Phewwww..
Been searching for it for the whole day and it took 5 minutes in the end, badass...
Anyway, don't lose hope and always Google for everything!

IPhone contact groups iOS 7 not functional?

I have multiple groups for contacts setup on my iMac (OS 10.5.8) which are sync'd to iCloud but on my iPhone 5 when I click on Groups all the group names are there with a check mark beside them. Clicking on the group name just removes the checkmark.
How do I make contact groups function on my iPhone 5 iOS7.0.4?
TIA

Why can't I display members of a contact group on my iPhone with IOS 6

Just discovered that I cannot display members of a group on my iPhone 4s running IOS 6.
When I tap on a group, I just get a check mark or erase the check mark by the group. The group will not expand to display the members of that group.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
JUST FOUND THE ANSWER!
You have to de-select the All Contacts group (get rid of the check mark), select the group you want to display (check mark shows), then tap done and the group selected will display.
Not the most intuitive procedure, but it works?

This works. Simple but like you say not intuitive. Where is the manual on this.

How can I add facebook contacts in a group in ios 6

Hi I need to know how can I add facebook contacts in a group in ios 6 without getting them in my contact list, thanks.

They are automatically put in a group called Facebook, and your other contacts in another group...if synced from a Mac, they will be labled From My Mac. In the contacts app you can chose what groups are visible: Contacts>Groups...add or remove the check by touching the group.

How do you remove facebook contacts from contact list in IOS 8?

Got a new 6+ today and it loaded all my facebook contacts in my contact list. How do you remove them. In IOS7 you used to go to settings/facebook/groups in upper left corner and uncheck face book, but its not there in IOS 8

Hey mmoore216,
Great question! You can disable your Facebook contacts from syncing with your Contacts application in the following location:
iOS: Using Facebook, Twitter, and other social network accounts
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5500
Sync contacts and calendars
iOS can sync your Facebook contacts and calendars with your device. This feature is off by default, but you can enable it in Settings > Facebook after adding your account.
Thanks,

How do I sync Google Contacts groups to iPhone

I have all my Google contacts in different Groups. I would like to have those same Google contacts groups synced to iPhone Contacts app. I followed instructions to sync iPhone Contacts with my Google account. All my Google contacts did sync to iPhone but there were no iPhone contact groups created. So I have one huge list of contacts. How do I sync the Google contacts groups? Thank you

Hi - from the"iPhone 6 User Guide for iOS 8.1",I followed the following steps:
Use your Google contacts: Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, tap your Google account,
then turn on Contacts.
So I entered Gmail and password. Then withing Contacts app I pressed the Sync link. Afterwards I've got all contacts in one big list, just not categorized by Google groups.

Help needed with contact/groups synching between phone and laptop via cloud

I installed OS X 10.7.5 and my software is up to date on both my I-phone and my MacBook. I have the cloud enabled. But now, when I try to access my contact groups on my I-phone, I just get the list of groups with checks beside them; I can't select a group and have those contacts displayed as they were
prior to installing the updates. I have cloud enabled and can see the groups displated when I go to the cloud.com site. But how do I get my iphone to display contacts by groups again? If I click on "Done" with all contacts and all groups checked, the display goes out of the groups category and back to the
list of all contacts. Do I need to change something in settings? At present, when USB-connected to the Mac and in I-tunes and looking at "information"
for my Iphone, I don't have synch contacts selected. I thought synching was happening via the cloud. I didn't make any change in that I-tunes synch setting
compared with before installing the new operating system and updating the rest of my software. If I need to check "synch contacts," do I check synch all
contacts or the box for synching groups. I want to have all my contacts and all group organization that's on my computer duplicated on my phone and would like to have synching happen without having to physically connect the phone to my computer. Help would be appreciated!

Syncing gmail contact groups with ipad2

I wish to sync my gmail contacts groups using microsoft exchange on the iPad2. Everything syncs correctly except the gmail groups I have created for my contacts. Anyone have a solution ?

I just set up syncing with Gmail Contacts for my wife's iPad this morning. IOS doesn't handle Groups. I've seen lots of gripes about this in many places online. I've also seen it suggested that we should suggest this as a "feature" to Apple. I'm going to look all day today for a place to do this. I hope you will, too. Good luck!
