ContactsDuster is one of the original iPhone contacts cleanup apps, helping people dust messy address books since 2010. Redesigned in SwiftUI with a fresh Liquid Glass feel, ContactsDuster keeps contact cleanup simple: find duplicates, merge repeated people, remove empty zombie contacts, organize groups, and keep a backup ready when you need it. Why people use ContactsDuster: - Clean duplicate contacts quickly - Merge matching names, phone numbers, and email addresses - Remove empty or incomplete zombie contacts - Organize contact groups - Export contacts as vCard - Back up and restore with backup history in your iCloud account ContactsDuster works directly with your iPhone and iPad contacts. Your address book stays yours: contacts are not uploaded to us, and backup history is saved in your own iCloud account so we do not have access to it.

I got this app 3 years ago, I heard somewhere it was good. I only opened it once while bored waiting in line, I "dusted" my duplicates. I opened it again today while upgrading my iPhone, deciding what apps I want to kill. I dusted again and made a few groups. This is a GREAT App if you are like me and have hundreds of disparate friends and acquaintances around the planet. I have a number of mail/phone/message apps each with their own contacts that have vampired from other Apps. You know the deal. This App gathered them all up and "dusted" the dupes! I found 2 contacts I thought had been lost!! No idea how it is able to get inside all my Apps but better this software than Big Brother. Thanks

Does a good job with recognizing and merging duplicates - beyond that it seems you need the paid version.

15 years after my initial 1 star review of this app the developer wrote me to try the app, now free, and amend my review. I can’t see a need for it today so I am not rating it any stars. Apparently I can’t avoid one star if I write a review so I will give it one for simply that reason.I can not believe the developer needs to go to the effort for a free app that is being literally given away.

Thanks for trying Contacts Duster again. The app has been rebuilt and recently updated with safer duplicate review/merge flows and clearer backup behavior, but it sounds like it still did not meet what you needed. If a specific cleanup, backup, or export step failed or felt confusing, please contact us at https://www.myclickapps.com/contact so we can investigate it directly.

The app is in desperate need of an update. I paid for the upgrade but it prompts to purchase the cloud backup option every time you open it, which is extremely frustrating since I back up to the iCloud. The app’s auto-dust feature does not work well, at least on my device running the latest iOS. There is also no support for this app, from the app itself. I was expecting more from a paid app.

Share what worked and what got in your way with an optional survey. This update also makes it easier to continue your task after upgrading. Your contacts stay private, and backups stay in your own iCloud account.
