How does Contacts Cleaner work?

Where Contacts Cleaner is available, CleanX can help you find duplicate or incomplete contacts and review them before merging or removing them.

CleanX scans your contacts and groups entries that may contain overlapping information, such as:

  • The same or similar names

  • Duplicate phone numbers

  • Duplicate email addresses

  • Other matching contact details

CleanX may also identify incomplete contacts that are missing useful information.

Because contacts can contain different details, always review a suggested merge carefully before confirming it.

How to use Contacts Cleaner

  1. Grant CleanX access to your contacts.

  2. Open Contacts Cleaner.

  3. Wait for the contacts scan to finish.

  4. Open a duplicate or incomplete contact group.

  5. Review the proposed merged information.

  6. Keep or edit the information as needed.

  7. Confirm the merge or deletion.

Can I review contacts before merging or deleting them?

Yes. CleanX is designed to let you review the suggested changes before they are applied. Check the proposed information carefully to make sure important details from different contacts are not removed unintentionally.

Why aren't my contacts loading?

If your contacts do not appear in Contacts Cleaner:

  1. Check that CleanX has Contacts permission.

  2. Reopen CleanX.

  3. Open Contacts Cleaner again and retry the scan.

The exact steps may vary depending on your device.

Availability

Contacts Cleaner is available on iOS and Android where the feature is supported. Android availability may vary depending on the current app version.

A supported contacts permission and, depending on the flow, the required account or subscription access may also be needed.

CleanX does not necessarily provide backup or recovery options. Do not rely on a backup or recovery feature unless it is visible in your current app version.
