How To Add A Contact On An iPhone

In this video, we show you how to add a contact on your iPhone! There are lots of ways to create contacts on an iPhone and we walk through a few of our favorites.

One way to add a new contact is to open up the Phone app, type in the person's number, then tap Add Number. This will take you to a menu where you can also save the person's name and other information so you can save the number as a contact.

Similarly, you can go into the Recents tab in your iPhone's Phone app and tap the blue i button to the right of a number to add it as a contact on your iPhone.

Is there a popular local business that you call frequently? You can save their number as a contact by pressing and holding the number on the company website!

Other ways to add contacts on an iPhone not mentioned in this video include using the Contacts app and the Messages app.

Hi David and David! Thanks for showing a senior how to save phone numbers! That's groovy! My daughter set up Siri, but not the phone numbers. Now I'm going to watch again! Target has a good deal on iphones with Consumer Cellular. I do not work for those folks. Stay home and stay safe kids!

So there's no way to add a contact from our Contacts App to our Phone App? That's lame, having to type in all that info
