If you link contacts with dierent rst or last names, the names on the individual
contacts won’t change, but only one name appears on the unied card. To choose
which name appears when viewing the unied card, tap the linked card with the
name you prefer, then tap Use This Name For Unied Card.
Linked contacts aren’t merged. Unless you edit a unied contact, the contact in
the source account remains separate and unchanged. If you change information
in a unied contact, the changes are copied to each source account in which that
information already exists. If you add information to a unied contact, that information
is added to the contact in each source account.
Linked contact information also appears at the bottom of an individual contact’s Info
screen when it’s viewed in a specic source account (that is, not in the All Contacts
list), which lets you see the Unied Info screen and the linked contact from each of the
other source accounts.
