Joining Contact Information
Most people now maintain multiple email accounts, social
networking logins, and other similar account information. For
example, a Facebook account login name might differ from a
corporate email account login because they are maintained
separately and for different groups of people.
Your device can synchronize with multiple accounts, including
Google, Corporate Exchange, and other email providers. When
you synchronize contacts from these accounts with your device,
you may have multiple contacts for one person.
Linking, or joining, imported contact records allows you to see all
the contact’s numbers and addresses together in one contact
entry. Linking also helps you keep your contacts updated,
because any changes that your contacts make to their
information in the respective accounts is automatically updated
the next time you synchronize with the account.
