Is there a feature in iOS 12 to get rid of duplicate contacts?

Ever since updating to iOS 12 I’ve noticed duplicate contacts showing up in my contacts and it would appear Facebook has something to do with it. Is there a feature somewhere that needs to be turned off so these duplicate contacts aren’t showing up?

No. Facebook integration is no more.
It used to be part of ios a few years ago, along with Twitter, but has been removed since iOS 10 I guess, if not earlier.

You will have to remove all duplicates yourself manually.

Hmm ok I’ll do that. Issue didn’t occur until updating to iOS 12. Thanks for the info.
