Couldn't find anything googling the subject (actually couldn't find any valid solution). It seems it's common to many android phones...
I have over 4,000 contacts and both the contact app fro Samsung or Google contact app (which I installed) have the ver bad habit of quite randomly linking contacts (A lot f them...) and it's sincerely a very big pain. I can of course unlink them one by one but not only it would take ages but also they tend to recombine with some others later.
Question: has anybody found a working way to simply disable/forbid any linking at all? Or even better manage the "smart" (hum...) rules around the merging and select our own. I would be more than happy to link on phone numbers ONLY, so that my Google and whatsapp contact link. But I can't stand this stupid phone linking unrelated contact even within one single account which is expected to be properly maintained already (Such as hundreds of contacts within my google account alone)
