LinkedIn duplicating contacts multiple times in Contacts app

[AC Question]

I've recently gotten an LG G4, and I've seen that it syncs all my contacts from all my different social media accounts. This is fine, and I don't mind them on there, but it seems that LinkedIn syncs multiple times.

It only seems to be LinkedIn that does this. I've checked my Sync & Accounts and I'm only logged in to LinkedIn once, so I'm not sure why this is happening. I know I can hide and delete contacts, only show with numbers, only show certain accounts etc, but I like having everything there.

I can't post links (I've just found out, after typing a much longer post that got deleted when I pressed "Back" after it told me...), but one contact is listed 9 times in my contacts - all LinkedIn duplicates - and I can't even merge the details anymore because it's full! When I go to their account, it has Skype/Facebook/Google icons, then multiple LinkedIn - all with the same name/position/company.


Is there a way to stop this? Am I missing the obvious?

Thanks

I filed a case with Linkedin for this Case ID : 17837844
Linkedin said their engineering time is working on the issue.

Any update?

I went to my contacts and opened up settings in the right hand corner and chose show only contact with phone numbers. That at least brought me from 1800 to 500 contacts. I don't know if this helps anyone else, but it makes it manageable for me.

Has anyone heard anything on this?
