Like if you have the same contact on, say, Whatsapp, Gmail and Facebook, it automatically links them as one contact. Which is a good idea and works well as a general rule. However, I have some problems.
I have three couples, for which I have husband and wife saved as a contact, but Google thinks that each couple is one person.
So it links Daniel and Elma as one contact, Duane and Therina as one, and Pieter and Dianne as one. I have set it so only Gmail and Whatsapp contacts show. However, in each instance it wants to link the couples as one. I can manually separate the contacts into four contacts each (one for Gmail and one for Whatsapp each) and then I can link each of the wives' two contacts together as they should be, but the moment I try to link the husbands' contacts together Google automatically links them all together as one.
Simply put, for those contacts it won't let me link them like I want them to be linked, but only as Google (quite incorrectly) believes they should be linked.
A Google search revealed that people were complaining about this back in Gingerbread days, but it still hasn't been addressed.
