Would you like to synchronize your Google contacts? We'll show you how..

Google Contacts is a great way to collect and manage your contacts on an external platform. You can also synchronize the contacts managed there with other devices. Synchronizing means that changes in the contacts are automatically transferred to all devices that are also linked to the Google contacts. If you add a contact on one device, it will automatically appear on the other. We'll show you how to do this below.

Sync Google contacts with Android devices

If you already have an address book stored in your Google account, this is the easiest method. This synchronization even works if you are not using the Google Contacts app, but a different app to manage contacts. The contacts are then automatically integrated into the Contacts app you are using.

Follow our step-by-step instructions or take a look at the brief instructions .

1st step:

Open the settings on your Android device. Tap the Accounts section under the Users category .

2nd step:

Now tap on " Google " to edit the settings of your linked Google account.

3rd step:

Then move the slider next to Contacts. As soon as this is switched to On (i.e. on the right), your Google contacts are automatically synchronized with your smartphone or tablet.

Sync Google contacts with iPhone

Google contacts can also be automatically synchronized with the iPhone. Then your Google contacts will be automatically integrated into your address book. Follow our step-by-step instructions or take a look at the brief instructions ..

1st step:

Open the settings of your iPhone. Then select the " Accounts & Passwords " section.

2nd step:

Tap " Add Account ".

3rd step:

Then select " Google ".

4th step:

If you have already saved contacts on your iPhone, a pop-up will appear. Here you have to decide whether you want to also integrate the synchronized contacts or delete the contacts that have already been saved .

Sync Google contacts with other devices

Direct (automatic) synchronization with other devices is often not possible. In mail management programs , you need to link your Gmail account so that contacts are imported from it. You can integrate your contacts in many programs by first exporting the Google contacts and then importing them into the relevant program . Then the contacts are integrated, but are not automatically synchronized .
