As an Android user, we think it is easy to transfer photos, music, videos, etc., between Android phone and computer. However, have you ever noticed the important contacts on Android? Have you transferred contacts from Android to computer? Do you back up Android contacts frequently? My answer is no. It is no doubt that contacts are important for us, but we always ignore to back up Android phone contacts. In this point, Google is generous enough to allow you to sync Android contacts to Google with a Google account.

Press the red button on the left “New Contact” or “New group”. On the right the field will appear in which you must specify information about your new contact. Click on “Add a name” and enter the correct name. Then enter the email address, phone, address, birthday and URL.

• update 2016-09-02 in iOS 9.3.5 you can simply pull down in the Contacts list to force a sync. If this doesn't appear to work, make sure the problem is with syncing and not with the data iOS 'sees' in the Google contacts by testing on a separate contact.
• Sign-in to your Google Account on your iPhone. Go to your iPhone settings and make sure your default account is the selected Gmail account.This ensures that new contacts are added to Google Contacts and can then be synced to your cloud apps such as your CRM. Don't forget to.

Keep reading this article to get the secret: How does Google sync Android Contacts?

Kindly note: before you transfer phone contacts to Google, you must be sure you have gotten a Google account. If you forgot Google password, recover Google password.

Method one: How to sync contacts to Google on Android directly

In method one, what you need is to make sure your Android phone is in the condition of Wi-Fi.

Step 1 Sign in Google account

Tab 'Settings' on your Android phone, find 'Account' > 'Google account', sign in your Google account with Gmail address and password.

If you do not have one on your phone, just create Google account on Android.

If you forgot Gmail, just lauch the Gmail recovery firstly.

Step 2 Back up android contacts to Google

Tab 'Sync Contacts'. Wait several minutes to sync Android contacts to Google.

If you keep turning on this button, then Google will sync your Android contacts automatically with the internet connection. If you turn it off, then it will not sync your Android contacts even with Wi-Fi.

In this way, you have to keep your Android phone connecting Wi-Fi. And every time, when you move contacts from phone to Google, your previous contacts backup on Google will be replaced with a new backup.

Method two: How to export contacts from Android to Google with USB cable

Method two is a little complicated to sync Android phone contacts to Google. We need a USB cable to realize it.

Step 1 Export Contacts

Tab 'Contacts' on your Android phone, you will see your contacts list. Select those contacts that you want to sync to Google.

Step 2 Select Contacts

Tab the 'Menu' button on the right bottom of the contact list > 'Import/Export' > 'Export to storage'. Then you will find your contacts are transferred into internal storage or SD Card as vCard File (VCF).

Step 3 Export phone contacts to Google

Plug Android phone with USB cable to computer. Log in your Gmail address on PC. Click 'Contacts' > 'More' > 'Import'. Click 'Browse' to navigate to your synced contacts backup, click 'Open' to import phone contacts to Google.

If you have Android contacts backup before on your PC, then you can skip two steps above, and come to step 3 directly.

Kind tip: Gmail only allows users to import phone contacts with the VCF file or CSV. This way is capable of syncing the contacts to Google with Android phone and USB cable. But it will take you some time to operate the process on your Android phone.

Method three: How to sync phone contacts to Google with Google Contacts App

If you only need to sync contacts on your Android to Google, then the above two methods are suitable for you. But if you want to sync all your contacts to Google, including those accidental deleted contacts on your phone, then you can follow method three. It is the perfect choice for you. Before you begin to transfer phone contacts to Google, you need to use a third-party tool, Google Contacts App for Android. It will achieve this goal with two steps.

Step 1 Back up Android contacts to PC.

This app will help you recover and transfer deleted and existing Android contacts to PC. For the detailed steps to move contacts from Android to computer, you could refer to this part: Export Android contacts to PC

The exported Android contacts are kept in three formats in your computer, HTML, CSV and VCF.

Step 2 Import contacts to Google

Sign in your Google account, click 'Contacts' > 'More' > 'Import' to sync your Android contacts backup to Google. (This step is the same as the step 3 of method two.)

After you sync phone contacts to Google account completely, you could manage the contacts on www.contacts.google.com. Definitely, if you do think Google account is a little troublesome to let you manage Android contacts, you can eaisly delete Gmail account.

1. Figure out where all of your Gmail contacts live. Here's a good place to start. Are they in your My Contacts? Other Contacts? Groups? Directory? Google has a few different lists.

2. Are you using the new or old version of Google Contacts? The new version, called Google Contacts Preview, has a blue and white interface.

3. Make sure that all of the contacts you want syncing with Contacts+ exist in your 'My Contacts'. Contacts+ only syncs with the contacts in the 'My Contacts' list. If you need to move contacts to your 'My Contacts' (from another list), you'll find instructions at the very bottom of this article.

4. Once your 'My Contacts' list is in good shape, sync your Gmail account to your Contacts+ address book. You can do this here: Sync Sources.

How many different contact lists does Google create for me?

How Do I Find My Google Contacts

Google will create a few different lists for you, such as My Contacts, Other Contacts, Groups, Circles, Directory, and more. You can read about these different lists here.

You'll want to pay close attention to your 'My Contacts', as this is the only list that Contacts+ syncs with. In other words, if you've connected (or are thinking about connecting) your Gmail account to Contacts+, the only list Contacts+ has access to is your 'My Contacts' in Google.

How do I know if I have contacts in my 'My Contacts' in my Gmail account?

Head over to your Google Contacts, then view your My Contacts in the upper left-hand corner.

To note: if you are using the new version of Google Contacts called Google Contacts Preview (it has a blue interface), you will not be able to easily distinguish between your 'My Contacts' and the other lists in Google.

We highly recommend that you switch back to the old version of Google Contacts to easily find your 'My Contacts'. Here are the steps to revert back to the old version of Google Contacts:

Edit My Google Contacts

1. Click on More (left-hand side dashboard)

2. Click 'Leave the contacts preview'.

How do I add contacts from other lists to 'My Contacts' in Google?

To easily add contacts, either click the box next to each contact's name or you can bulk-select contacts & add them to your 'My Contacts'. In other words, to make sure all of your Google Contacts are in your Contacts+, move contacts from one list - i.e. your Other Contacts - to your 'My Contacts'.

In the new version of Google Contacts, you can individually add contacts to your My Contacts or bulk-select contacts and add them to your My Contacts (using the +Person icon). Click on the contact >> click on +person icon.

Is Contacts+ syncing all of my Google Contacts?

Google Calendar

Not necessarily. Contacts+ is only syncing with your 'My Contacts' on Google. Again, while Google has a few different lists (My Contacts, Other Contacts, Directory, etc.), make sure any contacts you want syncing with your Contacts+ account exist in your 'My Contacts'. See our Getting Started on Contacts+ for more instructions.

To manually add 'Other Contacts' to Contacts+, go to your Sync Sources -> … next to your Google Account -> Select 'Search for other contacts in Google'.

What are Google's contact storage limits?

Google has three different storage limits for contacts, which are posted on Google Apps Help Page. These limits for Google Apps accounts also appear to apply to normal Google accounts.

• The total number of contacts in a Google account must be 25,000 or less. Please Note: This includes Other Contacts as well as My Contacts. Contacts+ only brings in 'My Contacts' from Google, so it is possible that you may run into your storage limit in Google even if you have less than 25,000 total Google Contacts in Contacts+.
• The total size of these contacts must not exceed 20 MB.
• Individual contacts must not exceed 128 KB in size.
