With more of the nation now owning an iPhone 5 the more people are looking at how they can fix a few problems that have been annoying them. So we will show you how you can merge your Facebook contacts on your iPhone 5, to better organize your address book.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb10\">We have already seen over 100 million people worldwide upgrade from iOS 5 to iOS 6 and I can only expect this number to rise over the next weeks, or months perhaps.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb10\">Anyway, back to the issue at hand&#8230;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb10\"><!--more--><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb10\">There is a slight issue with duplicate contacts being created. So for example you may have your wife or husband listed twice in your phones address back (one as a manual entry, the other pulling in from Facebook) but this can be easily rectified.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb10\"><strong>How To Do It<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb10\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"point\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sellcell.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/point.png\" alt=\"point\" width=\"10\" height=\"10\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"point\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%2010%2010%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt=\"point\" width=\"10\" height=\"10\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.sellcell.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/point.png\" class=\" lazyload\"> First you will need to find the Contacts app which can be easily accessed by pressing the phone icon which is located on the home screen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb10\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"point\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sellcell.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/point.png\" alt=\"point\" width=\"10\" height=\"10\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"point\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%2010%2010%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt=\"point\" width=\"10\" height=\"10\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.sellcell.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/point.png\" class=\" lazyload\"> You will now see all your contacts, so the aim now is to select one of the duplicate contacts, press the Edit option in the top right of the profile page for that person.
