Duplicate Entries in Android Phone Dialer

[zom247]

I bought my wife a Nokia 5 and transferred all her data and contacts. However, got a strange problem with the contacts. In contacts they only show once but under the phone dialler they show twice. It looks like a Whatsapp issue to me (second contact has the Whatsapp logo next to numbers) and I've done some googling but none of the things I've looked at have made any difference. I'm sure I've come across this before but can't remember how to fix it. I've tried uninstalling Whatsapp but that didn't work, also deleted cache in apps.

Can anyone help before I pull out what little hair I have left?

What contacts do you see if you look at them in Google Contacts in a browser?

Just single contacts. I'm sure it's Whatsapp related so I'll uninstall that again and try it.

Every time I've installed WhatsApp I've had the same issue,on different phones too.Must be a setting.
You can change which contacts are shown in the phone settings.For example,just from sim card,just Google account and so on.Have a look you may be doubling up the contacts there

Where is this setting? Can't find anything like this on my wife's phone but I'm probably looking in totally the wrong place!
