To import contacts from Google Contacts, you can follow these step-by-step instructions:
1. Open your computer’s web browser and navigate to Google Contacts. You can simply search for “Google Contacts” or type in “contacts.google.com” in the address bar.
2. Once you’re on the Google Contacts page, look for the “Import” option. You’ll find it at the top-right corner of the screen. It is represented by an arrow pointing downwards.
3. Click on the “Import” option, and a drop-down menu will appear. From the menu, select “Select File.” This will prompt you to choose the file containing the contacts you want to import.
4. After selecting “Select File,” a file explorer window will open on your computer. Use this window to navigate to the location where your contact file is stored. Once you’ve located the file, click on it to select it, and then click “Open” or “Choose” (depending on your operating system).
5. Once you’ve selected the file, click “Import” to start the import process. Google Contacts will then begin importing the contacts from the file you provided.
6. The time taken for the import process will depend on the size of the contact file and the speed of your internet connection. You may see a progress bar or a notification indicating the progress of the import.
7. Once the import is complete, you should see a confirmation message indicating the number of contacts imported successfully. At this point, the imported contacts will be added to your Google Contacts list.
It’s worth noting that Google Contacts supports various file formats for importing contacts, including CSV (Comma Separated Values) and VCF (vCard) files. These file formats are commonly used for exporting and importing contacts across different platforms and devices.
If you have contacts stored in another email service or in a different format, you may need to export them from that service or convert them to a compatible format before importing them into Google Contacts. The specific steps for exporting or converting contacts will vary depending on the service or format you’re working with.
Importing contacts from Google Contacts is a straightforward process. By following the steps outlined above, you can easily import your contacts into Google Contacts and ensure that all your important contact information is readily accessible.
