How To Save iPhone Contacts Into Your Google Account: Guide

One of the biggest problems of using an Apple iPhone is that you have to give up everything Google. When you are switching from Android to iOS, everything moves from your Google account to your Apple account.

Further, your WhatsApp chats are backed up on your Apple account (which leads to a loss of data) and so are all your contacts. However, there is a simple way in which you can save your iPhone contacts in your Google account.

The guide here is really simple. You need to use your Google account, which you can access using your Gmail ID, as your default account on your iPhone. In case you are wondering, you can change it!

Once you have changed this setting, you will be able to save all your iPhone contacts on your Google account, which would then be accessible on your other Android devices (if any) as well.

How to save your iPhone contacts on your Google account:

1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
2. Now go to the Contacts option.
3. Now tap on the Accounts option.
4. Look for the Gmail option and click on it.
5. Toggle the Contacts button.

Once you tap on the toggle button, your iPhone will automatically start saving all your contacts in your Google account.
