Hi! I’m following all of the directions I found in a simple search and my Contacts app is not showing any automatic duplicate detection. I installed iOS 16.3 and apparently, there’s supposed to be a gray box with the words Duplicates Detected and asks if I want to merge those contacts. But this doesn’t happen with my Contacts app. I offloaded and reinstalled the app, btw, and still nothing. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks!

You may have stored the same contacts in multiple email accounts.
Either remove the contacts from the rarely used email account or disable contacts from the rarely used mail account in the iOS Mail app.
Unlike some Android devices, contacts are neither stored locally on an iPhone nor in SIM. They are synced to an email account that you had Google, iCloud, AOL, Exchange, Outlook, Yahoo or any Other
Contacts between two email accounts can not be merged through an iPhone
