People tile.

all of the People hub, tap the name of the contact you want to link.

At the bottom of the screen, tap

if the contact is already linked to other contacts.

Do one of the following:

Under

suggested links (if available), tap the contact to link to that contact’s

account.

Tap

choose a contact to select a contact from your People list to link to.

Breaking the contact information link between contacts

contacts are linked.

Tap one of the linked profiles, and then tap

unlink.
