How to Backup Phone Contacts to Gmail

Automatic Backup: This is the simplest method and is ideal for ongoing maintenance. Your phone can be set to automatically sync your contacts with your Google account.

Manual Backup (Exporting): This method gives you more control over the backup process and creates a file you can store or transfer. Here's how to do a manual backup by exporting your contacts:

Export Contacts: Click the "Export" button. This will be labelled with a "downward facing arrow" icon and the text "More actions" next to it.
Choose Export Format: Select "Google CSV" as the file format. This is a common format that can be easily imported into other applications.
Save the File: Choose a location on your computer to save the downloaded file. This file contains all your contact information.
