We would like to show you a description here but the site won’t allow us. Mar 29, 2019 While you might love your iPhone's calendar app, many people are equally enamored of Google's calendar. If you don't want to miss that noon get-together your friends set up in Google Apps, this article will show you how to set up Google Calendar on your iPhone with a few short steps—just in time for lunch! After selecting the iPhone Contacts you wish to edit iPhone Contacts on the right interface, click the 'Edit' icon to start editing. It could also be done in another way by right-clicking on a contact and selecting 'Edit' or double-click on the contact entry.
For most who use email to communicate with others, contacts are automatically added. Once you begin chatting with someone, their contact information may be automatically added to your Gmail, making it easier to initiate another conversation later.
But most don’t know how to add a contact in Gmail, how to find contacts in Gmail, or how to edit contacts in Gmail. And there's a good reason for that: contacts no longer live in Gmail proper!
Here we’ll show you how to do all of the above as well as how to import contacts to Gmail, how to export Gmail contacts, and how to delete contacts from Gmail for good.
Where are contacts in Gmail
Years ago, Gmail had a dedicated ‘contacts’ section. At some point, Google migrated contacts to its own standalone service within the Google suite of apps and services.
There are a few ways to get to your contacts, though. The upside is you don’t really have to go through Gmail to edit, delete, or manage contact information now.
The two main ways to get to your Google Contacts is to visit contacts.google.com while logged into your Google account, or click the familiar nine-dot menu present across Google websites and select “Contacts.”
Both steps lead you to contacts.google.com, where all your contacts, lists, and management tools are located.
Contacts on your iPhone, iPad mail app
Much like Google, Apple also houses your contacts in a separate service. Though not an app, your iPhone and iPad both have a partition in the Settings app specifically for contacts. Here’s how to find them:
- Select the “Settings” app on your iPhone or iPad
- Scroll down until you see “Contacts”
- Select “Contacts,” and click on any contact to manage the information in that profile
How to add contacts to Gmail
Adding contacts to Gmail is as simple as adding them to your Google contacts. Google Contacts is linked across the apps you use with your Google account. Here’s how:
- Go to contacts.google.com
- On the top left of the window, select “Create contact”
- Select “Create new contact”
- In the popup window, enter the information for your new contact
- Select “Save” at the bottom of the popup window
Many users aren’t excited by using Google Contacts, or managing contacts in their iPhone’s settings. While these methods are good for finding and editing info, they’re limited tools. A better app for managing contacts as well as email for you may be Canary.
Canary for Mac is a native app that provides full end to end encryption for email, and allows you to better filter, organize, and get through your email inbox with ease. Canary has the ability to manage read receipts, snooze emails, and view contact profiles.
The right side of the screen has a contact view, displaying all the information for that person, and an option to quickly ‘favorite’ them.
How to edit Gmail contacts
Editing contacts in Google Contacts is really simple. Here’s how it’s done:
- Visit contacts.google.com
- Select the contact you want to edit
- In the popup window that appears, click the pencil icon at the top right corner
- Edit the contact information
- Select “Save” at the bottom right corner of the window
Though Google contacts can sync to your main Apple contacts service, some want to avoid Google contacts altogether. Unibox may be what you’re looking for if you want to use Gmail but not Google contacts.
A native email app for Mac, Unibox groups emails and messages by sender, providing a holistic view of chats organized by sender. It also allows direct addition of contacts to your Mac’s contacts app, which syncs to your other iOS and iPadOS devices via iCloud.
All you have to do is right-click the icon on any contact in your inbox, select “Add to address book,” and Unibox will open your Mac contacts app with the information it knows about the person emailing you. Brilliant!
How to import contacts
Importing contacts to Google contacts is easy, too. First, be sure you’ve exported contacts from your other email service or contacts app as a CSV file. This is a filetype Google contacts is able to read.
From there, follow these steps:
- Visit contacts.google.com
- From the left side of the window, select “Import”
- Select “Select file”
- Choose the CSV file saved to your Mac you wish to import
- Select “Import” at the bottom right corner of the popup window
That’s all it takes! The contacts in the CSV file you uploaded to Google contacts will show up in your list. Keep in mind while it’s typically immediate, it sometimes takes a while for contacts to show up, especially across devices.
How to export contacts
If you want to export your Google contacts for use elsewhere, it’s also very simple. Here’s how it’s done:
- Visit contacts.google.com
- On the left side of the screen, select “Export”
- Choose the list you want to export (Note: You can export a single “label” in Google contacts, or your whole contacts list. You won’t be able to select multiple “labels,” which are sub-lists of contacts. If there are multiple lists you want to export, you can create a new label for those contacts, add the label to those contacts, and export that label’s list.)
Choose your “export as” option (Note: Google CSV and Outlook CSV are different, so choose carefully.)
- Select “Export” at the bottom right corner of the window
Your exported contacts will be saved as a CSV or vCard on your Mac.
How to delete Gmail contacts
There are two ways to delete Gmail contacts: individually, or by group. Here’s how to delete a single Google contact:
- Visit contacts.google.com
- Find the contact you wish to delete
- On the right side of their row, click the three-dot menu
- Choose “delete”
- Confirm you want to delete the contact
If you want to delete multiple contacts, follow these steps:
- Visit contacts.google.com
- Hover over the icon of the contact you wish to select for deletion
- When the checkbox appears instead of their image, select the box
- Follow steps two and three for all contacts you want to delete
- When you’ve selected all the contacts you’d like to delete, select the three-dot menu at the top of the window
- Select “delete”
- Confirm your choice
