New Shiny Features and Fixes
We’re really happy to bring in another much-needed feature to our users, Contact Merge. We got a lot of feedback in regards to giving you more control over tidying up your list of contacts. From our end, we are continuously working on making this easier and faster to use. Part of that control is the contact merge feature introduced in the new update. We also had quite a few fixes and improvements worked on for the overall experience of the app.
Contact Merge
Contact Merge is here! Now you can use the merge feature to merge contacts in UpHabit.
If you see someone’s personal and work contact details as two separate contacts, merge it!

Data Update Notes:
On Friday, September 21, we sent out an email acknowledging two issues found that might have impacted your enjoyment of UpHabit. The two issues are: Google or Microsoft integrations stopped for some users, and duplicate contacts and contact details sometimes appearing. We committed to resolving these issues and that has not changed. We have been working to resolve both of these issues and have an update for our Habiteers.
As of Monday, September 24, the integration issue has been resolved. We’ve implemented a restart process and have added monitoring tools to prevent an issue like this in the future.
As of Monday, October 1, regarding the duplicate contacts and contact details issue, we have significantly reduced the chance of duplicates being created. We are continuing to investigate and implement further optimizations so that we can resolve the issue entirely.
As of Tuesday, October 2, we have started removing the identifiable duplicates. We are completing this in stages over the next week or two and we’ll let you know as soon as we’re complete.
This update is part of our commitment to being open about any issues that might have impacted your enjoyment of UpHabit. Thank you for all the feedback and thank you for using UpHabit!
