No duplicate detection for a extra white space between words

There is no duplicate detection for inputs like "John Doe" and "John Doe" though they are very likely to be the same person.

It is an overzealous input validation to trim extra spaces within names. In most phones' contact applications such as the default Phone application by Apple, contacts can be added with more than one space within your contact’s name fields. The contacts will then be treated as different contacts, rather than duplicates.

Take the below example of an Android contact app where "John Doe" with different spaces in between are added. They are then considered as two separate contacts. This shows that leading phone applications allow this, so it's not unusual for our application to do the same.

Duplicate status (if any):
