How Do You Quickly Transfer Contacts Between Android Phones?

What’s the Easiest Way to Sync Contacts to Your New Android?

Transferring contacts between Android phones can feel tricky, but it’s actually simple. Let me walk you through it step by step. Imagine it like packing your stuff from one house and unpacking it in another—just digital.

Steps to Transfer Contacts from Android to Android

1. First, look for the Google Contacts app on your old phone. It might already be installed. If not, grab it from the PlayStore.
2. Open the app. Tap your profile picture in the top-right corner. Scroll down and find Contact settings.
3. Inside Settings, tap Google Contact Sync settings. Select your Google account (the one you want to use).
4. Make sure Google contact sync is turned on. If you see a “status” option, double-check that syncing is active.
5. If you have phone-only contacts saved on your device, enable syncing for those too under the same settings menu.
6. On your new phone, download or open the Google Contacts app if it’s already there.
7. Tap your profile picture again and ensure you’re logged into the same Google account as on your old phone.
8. Go to Contact settings, then Google contact sync settings. Turn syncing on here as well.
9. If you’re impatient like me, hit Start sync to speed things up.

That’s it! Your contacts should now appear on the new phone.

Quick Tips for a Smooth Transfer

• Use Wi-Fi for faster syncing—it saves mobile data.
• Double-check both phones are logged into the same Google account.
• If something feels off, restart both devices and try again.
