How to transfer contacts to Google

To get us to copy the contacts from our mobile phone or SIM card to the Google account, we will need to download the contacts application . This application is proprietary to Google and will allow us to keep our contacts and phone numbers always safe.

Once we have the application installed we access the app for the first time to give it the relevant permissions, although the function that will allow us to copy our contacts is hidden within Gmail . The mail manager is the one who will allow us to copy all the contacts and for this we follow the following steps:

  • Collect .vcf files for the contacts saved on the phone.

Don’t make the same mistake with the following contacts

Once we have learned how we can pass the numbered to our Google account, we can think that we will not encounter the problem again, although this will depend on ourselves. When re-saving a contact we will have to be careful and always choose the Google option.

This process is not complicated at all, although we must remember to activate it. In some mobiles and specific models we can establish in the contact settings that our numbers are stored by default in the SIM or Google account, but in others we must follow this process.

When writing a number and adding it to the phonebook, we only have to look at the section called “save in” where we will be able to manually select where we want to save the contacts. As our purpose is not to lose contacts , we always recommend doing it in the main email of Gmail, this way they will always be linked to your phone even if you change it.
