Hello There,
I am hoping someone on here may be able to assist me with a very annoying contacts syncing issue I have. I have an iPad Pro, iPhone Xs and a MacBook Pro 15" laptop. Both the iPad and the iPhone are running the la=test versions of iOS and the MacBook Pro is running Catalina 10.15.7 (19H15). I am using Outlook as the default Mail client across all devices, with three mail accounts added to it; a work O365 account, my personal iCloud account and a Gmail account. Contact syncing is setup via iCloud. But recently I have been seeing duplicate contacts being created in my contacts app across all devices. There are also strange fields being added to all contacts (see picture)

No matter how many times I edit the contacts to remove these entries they still keep appearing as well as numerous contacts with no name but with numbers. I keep on merging these but they keep reappearing. I have stopped all syncing and restored from backup in iCloud and locally stored exports but it still keep happening. Today I am removing the iCloud accounts from Outlook to see if that makes a difference. However if anyone here has any ideas they would be greatly received.
Thanks
