Steps to reproduce the bug

• Open app (Contacts or History tab is shown)
• Click the three dots menu of a Contact included in more than one account (e.g. Contact list / CardDAV, Telegram and/or Whatsapp)
• Select menu item Show contact details

Check displayed information

Expected behavior

All contact information are shown in the contact details (from the Contacts or History tabs), as it happens with the Fossify Contacts app.

Actual behavior

As an example, for a contact of mine I find three different entries in the Fossify Contacts app:

• one for the contact from Nextcloud (CardDAV account from DAV5x);
• one for the Telegram contact;
• one for the Whatsapp contact.

For the same person, in the Phone app I just have one entry, related to Telegram.

Screenshots/Screen recordings

No response

Additional information

My contacts are in my private Nextcloud instance. Using DAVx5 Android App to sync them. This issue is the same as an original Simple Dialer issue.

Do I understand correctly, that in Contacts app you have turned off merging contacts? And you'd like to have opening contact details in Phone work like this, that if you're filtering by WhatsApp contact list, then it should open details of contact from WhatsApp, not the default one that Contacts app open?

It works this way, because in Phone all contacts are merged, so even if you filter by phone storage, the app sends an intent to Contact app to open the contact without telling from which storage it should be. And, if in Contacts app you have turned off merging, it just opens one of the instances of the contact.

@Aga-C No, in my Contacts app the Merge duplicate contacts checkbox is checked. Following your question, I tried to uncheck it. The behaviour does not change (the issue still occurs).

Even with backups, I have to manually re enter contacts again and again.
