Norton Cleaner: Phone Cleanup

The synchronization between Microsoft Outlook and Apple iOS is notoriously disjointed. As such, I've had numerous duplicate contacts added to my phone over the years. I use Norton on my Windows PC (and have for years) so I decided to use it on my iPhone. Huge mistake! After it was done, some of my most common contacts were gone completely and others were missing street addresses or primary phone numbers. None of the supposed clean up steps followed any rhyme or reason that I would have directed, and there were no questions asked to guide the process. In short, what might work well for removing duplicate images does not with Norton Phone Cleanup.

Norton has been my choice since 2006. They take good care thank you Norton

I’ve been a member of Norton for years, and I like them, nevertheless when I downloaded Cleaner it started misbehaving and freezing up on me. I had to restart it 1/2 dozen times when nothing would work. I left it for a while I opened all my other Norton apps and they were working fine in my iPhone 15 pro. It’s been maybe an hour later that Cleaner started working, what seems to be properly. Let’s hope it is stable from now on. But it wasn’t stable at the outset.
