In this video, we're going to show you
two methods of transferring contacts
from one Android to another Android device.
Use our clickable sections below
to keep track of what step you're on
during this tutorial.
The first method is to sync with your Google account.
We are using a Samsung Galaxy A30s
running Android 10,
but it should look similar
on other Android devices.
Open the settings app and click on "Accounts."
Tap your Google account.
Tap "Account sync."
Make sure that the "Contacts" toggle
is enabled for your contacts to sync.
When you sign in to your Google account
on any new Android phone,
your contacts will be there.
The second method involves backing up a VCF file
that contains all of your contacts.
Open the contacts app and select the menu icon.
Click on "Manage contacts,"
then "Export."
Select where to export these contacts.
I'm selecting "Internal storage."
The contacts are exported to your internal storage.
Then you will transfer the VCF file
to your new Android.
You are going to use USB cables
to transfer the file
from the old Android to the new one.
The cables that come with the phones for charging
could work well.
Unlock both phones and connect both of them
to your computer with the USB cables.
Open the File Explorer
and click on the "This PC" tab
on the left side of the display.
Click the little phone icon that displays your old phone.
Then drag and drop the VCF file
from the old phone to the new one.
Once the file is transferred,
browse to the VCF file and open it.
Click "Save contact to phone."
Your contacts will be imported to your new phone.
