Help how do I stop auto sync for contacts

[fr1959]

Contacts on my Galaxy S3 keep duplicating.

Tried merging/duplicating contacts in gmail contacts which works momentarily but then reverts back to duplication of contacts on my sim card.

Easier option is to manually sync contacts when required.

How can we stop auto sync of contacts from Galaxy S3 sim card to gmail contacts?


I am happy with calender features

Hello fr and welcome! To answer your question there should be an option to stop auto sync in your settings
Hope that helps
