Contacts - Duplicates

Upgraded to MacOS Big Sur. Realized that all my contacts on my iphone 11 has been duplicated. What is the easiest way to remove these duplicates? Is there a script or other method?

  • I have experienced the same problem, but I have upgraded multiple computers to Big Sur--so I now have four copies of each contact in my iCloud contacts (on all devices, as well as the iCloud web interface.)
  • My initial search took me to If you see duplicate contacts after setting up iCloud Contacts - Apple Support. But the "Before You Begin" section of that site says, "If you see duplicates in Contacts on iCloud.com, visit Apple Support for help." When I went to Apple Support, this looked like the most relevant post, but the only answer was to go back to the page that sent me to Apple Support.
