Go to Settings Password & Account on your iPhone. Tap on “Add Account” “Google”. Sign in your Google account and toggle on Contacts on the Gmail screen. Then head over to Google Contact website and see if any missing. Check all the contacts you need and click “Print” in the left column to print out your iPhone contact list. Unless you want to occasionally waste time hunting for information on a device other than the one you're currently using, syncing your contacts between your Google account and your iPhone is a. We’re going to tap the “Add names from Contacts” button, which leads us to a screen asking us to allow Address Labels for CardLists to access your iPhone’s contacts. You have to allow it. If you don’t, Address Labels for CardLists can’t pull in the data. Once you’ve OK’d it, you see this screen. Then, select Contacts to view a list of your current contacts. Step 2: Select the plus icon in the bottom-left corner, and click New Group from the resulting pop-up menu. Go to Settings-Mail,Contacts,Calendars-Contacts-Default Account and make sure an account that has the Custom Label option is set there. For instance, If i set the default account to Google, I get the Custom Label option, but if I set it to Hotmail, I don't.
Contacts can be organized into groups on the iPhone or iPad to make them easier to find. However, it may not immediately be obvious that this is possible because Apple still doesn't allow you to create those groups on iOS 7 -- you can only view them. To create groups, you must do it in iCloud or from your computer. Here's how to create groups using both methods:
To create a group in iCloud, visit icloud.com and log in with your Apple ID. Click on contacts and then find the '+' symbol at the bottom and to the left of your contact list. You'll have an option of creating and labeling a new group. To add contacts to the group, click on 'All Contacts' and drag/drop names on top of that group. Then launch the Contacts app on iPhone, and tap 'Groups' at the top left side of the screen. You'll be able to view those groups by tapping them to put a check mark next to it. Uncheck groups that you'd like to hide.
Another way to create groups on the iPhone or iPad is through the Contacts app on Mac. Launch the app, then hover your mouse next to where it says 'iCloud.' Click on the '+' that appears to create and label a new group. Then, just like the iCloud web interface, you can click and drag/drop names onto the new group.
Unfortunately, if you're using Google for syncing contacts, the iPhone won't recognize the groups you've created there. You'll have to sync your contacts with iCloud and create groups there in order to access them.
By default, an iPhone will store contacts on iCloud, or, if you've opted out from iCloud, it will store them locally on your phone. How do you get these contacts synced up to other services? It all depends on where they are now!
- If your iPhone contacts are stored in iCloud, you can choose to sync your contacts from iCloud directly to many of PieSync's other supported apps.
- If you're not using iCloud, you should consider moving your contacts to a cloud service, as only then will PieSync work.
But even if your contacts are currently stored in iCloud, and PieSync supports iCloud, you may want to make sure your iPhone uses Google Contacts instead, especially if the rest of your business runs on Google apps.
Managing multiple contact lists on an iPhone
A quick way to find out which contacts are currently loaded up on your iPhone, is by going inside the Contacts app, or the Phone app of your iPhone.
Transfer Iphone Contacts To Google
By tapping the Groups icon on the top left, you'll understand that an iPhone is capable of visibly merging different databases into one single contact list.
While in some cases it is handy to have your iPhone consolidate contact lists, in most cases it actually leads to confusion. Because everything is neatly merged, there is no easy way to recognize in which cloud database a specific contact is being stored.
Where is your mom's contact stored? Is it in iCloud? Google Contacts? Your SIM card? Worse yet, is it in all three of them simultaneously? Your iPhone actually dedupes them & merges identical contacts visually!
The idea is ultimately that your phone merely acts as a window into contacts databases, so we suggest you visit contacts.google.com or icloud.com/contacts respectively to see & manage these lists.
Where are your contacts stored?
So how does your iPhone manage contacts? This help article can't possibly cover all possible scenarios, but here's how you can easily find out how your iPhone is setup currently.
Go to Settings -> Contacts -> Accounts to find out which services are allowed to manage/add contacts on your phone. In the example shown to the left, there are three accounts moving contacts into this iPhone:
Google Contacts Labels Iphone 6
- iCloud
- Personal gmail.com
- G-suite-domain
Google Contacts Labels Iphone 11
It's very likely you will see something different on your phone: you may or may not have iCloud, you could have an Outlook account, and so on.
Did you know? Connecting a Google account to an iPhone will import your Google Contacts. However, the contacts that you had on your phone before are not moved to Google. They remain stored on iCloud or on your phone! Follow these instructions to back up those contacts to Google.
The next steps will help you consolidate your contacts into Google's ecosystem instead. Wherever your contacts are, with the Google Drive app, you can push your Contacts data from your iCloud or those that are locally stored to the Google Drive and into Google Contacts.
Move your iPhone Contacts to Google Contacts with the Google Drive app
- Download Google Drive to your iPhone and sign in with your Google account. If you don’t have a Google Account, you can create one when you sign-in to Google Drive. Already have Google Drive? Make sure it’s up to date.
Now it’s time to backup your content. Open Google Drive and go to the backup wizard in Menu > Settings > Backup. You can select which content you want to backup or simply backup everything. Then hit “Start”.
Sign-in to your Google Account on your iPhone.
- Go to your iPhone settings and make sure your default account is the selectedGmail 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 set up the 'Default account' to be Google! Merely connecting a Google account isn't sufficient, you also need to make sure new contacts you create on your phone are immediately created inside Google via this setting.
