What are the potential benefits when doing this? I haven't seen this before pop up and are their any downsides to linking my contacts? Also, is it possible to unlink in the future Thanks guys! :smiling-face:

Hi @LiquidSnake  Linked contacts are basically  a  merge when  one or more contacts contacts are in essence the same , they will be linked under one contact profile.   Therefore should result in more efficiency if for instance you have several contacts in different apps. See some information here  https://mobilepains.com/what-does-it-mean-when-a-contact-is-linked/#:~:text=Linked%20contacts%20are%... 

You must keyboard permissions for contacts and  take it the prompt appeared  asking if you wanted it sorted this way. 

If at a later date you wished to unlink  should be relatively straight forward.

I do not work for Samsung or make Samsung Products but provide independent advice and valuable contributions.
