Contacts?<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>When importing contacts onto your phone, some of your contact information may be duplicated, so Android may link them automatically.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes, Android will mistakenly link unrelated contacts, so you may wonder how to keep your phone from automatically linking contacts.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Android, however, there is no direct way to disable contact auto linking. What you can do is manually disable auto-sync from the Google account that links the contacts. Follow these simple steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>Open the <strong>Settings <\/strong>app on the phone.<\/li><li>Tap the <strong>Google <\/strong>option and choose your Gmail account.<\/li><li>Scroll down and tap the <strong>Setup &amp; restore <\/strong>option<\/li><li>Tap <strong>Google Contacts Sync<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/li><li>Under status, tap <strong>Manage Settings<\/strong><\/li><li>Toggle off Automatic Sync to disable auto-sync.<\/li><li>Navigate back to &ldquo;Google Contact Sync&rdquo;<\/li><li>Tap &ldquo;Also sync device contacts&rdquo; &gt; &ldquo;Manage Settings&rdquo;<\/li><li>To disable auto-sync, toggle off &ldquo;Automatic Back up &amp; sync device contacts&rdquo;<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-layout-5
