I have consistently seen the default Contacts app create duplicate entries. I'm not sure how or when this happens. For those contacts that have duplicates, I can see the duplicates if I search for data in the contact (name, phone number, etc.) or if I just scroll through all the contacts.
If duplicates are linked, deleting one deletes them all. If unlinked, I can delete them individually.
I've seen a few posts on this, but none seem to have information on how to identify the source of the problem.
This post mentions a Contacts Storage app. Is that something I need to download separately and configure to work with the GrapheneOS default Contacts app?

I could not find a "Contacts Storage" app in either Droid-ify, F-Droid, or Neo Store.
I did see a few posts mentioning Fossify apps. That seems to have favorable reviews (in this forum too), but I'd like to know if I'm doing anything wrong or if the duplication problem is with the default Contacts app.
I only use Signal Private Messenger on my phone. I do not have WhatsApp or any other messaging app. I have no Google account, no Yahoo account, etc. I have Proton Mail, but I have no contacts in my Proton account.
