🔗 How to Link Contacts in the Mailbird Contacts App
One of the powerful features of the new Contact app in Mailbird is the ability to link multiple contacts into one unified view. This allows you to manage and edit related contact entries more efficiently.
🧩 What does Linking Contacts Do?
When you link two or more contacts, their information is combined into a single unified view. This means:
- You can see all details from the linked contacts in one place.
- Editing this unified contact will automatically apply changes to all linked instances.
The image below shows what a linked contact looks like, including an indicator of how many contacts are linked.
👁️ Viewing and Managing Linked Contacts
In the unified contact view, the marked area will show how many contacts are linked. By clicking on this area, you can:
- Choose which specific contact details you want to view.
- Unlink any contacts if needed.
It's important to keep these two important points in mind:
- Editing from the unified view updates all linked contacts.
- Editing an individual contact only updates that specific entry. Therefore others remain unchanged.
