Joining Contact Information - Samsung Galaxy S III User Manual

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.
This device can synchronize with multiple accounts. When you
synchronize your phone with those accounts, each account creates a
separate contact entry in the Contacts list.
If one of your contacts (Amy Smith) has a regular email account that
you maintain in Gmail, but also has a Facebook account under her
maiden and married name, as well as a Video! chat account, when
you merge those accounts into your Contacts list you can join all of
her entries and view the information in one record.
Joining contact information makes sending messages easy. You can
select any account email address or information all from one screen,
versus searching multiple, individual screens to locate the desired
account information.
Next time you synchronize your phone with your accounts, any
updates contacts make to email account names, email addresses,
etc. automatically update in your contacts list.
1. From the Home screen, tap
2. Tap a contact name (the name you want to link to another
entry) to reveal the Contact entry's Overview Screen.
Note: Typically this is the same contact with a different name or
account information.
