How to Add Your Google Con­tacts to Win­dows Phone 8

What do you do when you purchase a new phone? Well, yeah, a lot of things but one of the first tasks that you are likely to take up is importing your contacts from another phone or service. That joke about whether that smartphone can make calls is still worth a laugh but we usually begin the setup of our new phones by making sure that we can use it to make or receive calls.

Now, doing that manually takes a hell lot of effort. The best solution, if you are using a basic phone, is to copy contacts to the SIM card (from your old phone) and then move them to your new phone. Another way could be to seek help of your computer. But if your previous phone was a smartphone too then chances are that you used Google Contacts to sync your contacts to the cloud.

We will see today how to pull your contacts from Google into a Windows Phone 8 device.

Note: The Windows Phone 8 device used for this post is Nokia Lumia 920. The steps are same for all WP8 phones.

Steps to Add Google Contacts to Windows Phone 8

The best possible way here is to add Google email service to the phone. When you do that contacts synchronize automatically. Here are the steps:

Step 1: Flick the Start Screen towards the left to reach the detailed list of applications. Navigate to Settings.

Step 2: On the system settings screen, look for the option reading email + accounts. Tap to open the option.

Step 3: Along with the list of accounts that you have already added, you will see an option to add an account. Start with that.

Step 4: From the add an account screen look for Google. You may choose other services in the same manner.

Step 5: The moment you do that you will be asked for your account credentials. Key in the Email address and the Password before you hit on next.

Note: Enter the full email address. Example, abc@gmail.com. If you do not do that, the next button will not get activated.

Step 6: Then you will be asked to select the content for synchronization. Select Email, contacts and calendar to make sure your contacts get imported.

Step 7: Click on sign in and wait. You will be taken back to email + accounts settings and would notice the syncing activity.

When that completes, you will have all your Google contacts on your phone. You will have access to their phone numbers, email addresses and other details that were linked to the respective contacts on the list.

The steps for other services are very much similar. And, based on the service you are adding you will have different sync options.

Note: If you are adding a Google apps account, you should ensure that the admin permissions for Google sync settings are turned on.

Conclusion

What are you waiting for? Go ahead and associate your phone to all possible accounts. That will help you get all the contacts within minutes. And do not forget, email messages and other updates come along.

How To Sync Google Contacts With Windows 10 People App

Update: Windows 10 Will Support CalDAV And CardDAV For iCloud And Google
Learn how to sync Google contacts with Windows 10 People app. This work-around is an updated version of ‘Setting Up Google Contacts In Windows 8 And RT Contact App‘. It also applies to Windows Phone 7, Windows Phone 8, Windows 8, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 (Technical preview, build 9926). In the same way, you can sync your Microsoft Exchange contacts, Skype contacts, Yahoo! contacts, Facebook friends, LinkedIn contacts, Sina Weibo contacts and Twitter contacts. However, you cannot sync iCloud contacts with Windows 10 People app.

For Windows Phone 8.1, Microsoft added support of CalDAV and CardDAV protocol for Google calendars and contacts and iCloud calendars and contacts at last. However, Windows 10 (technical preview, build number 9926) is still missing CalDAV and CardDAV support like Windows 8 and 8.1. It is unknowable why Microsoft does not add these supports to Windows.

For all that, you can sync Google contacts with Windows 10 People app via your outlook.com / Microsoft account. The restriction is that you can add only one single Google account. With that you can completely bypass the restriction that Google stopped supporting Microsoft Exchange Active Sync protocol.

Here’s how to sync Google contacts with Windows 10 People app (a Microsoft account is preconditioned):

In the People app, click on the upper left corner, select ‘Settings‘ and click on ‘Accounts‘. Then tap or click ‘Add an account‘.

Notes:

• Check to see if there are any other Google accounts listed in the People app. If you see one, and it’s the one you want to sync your contacts from, you’re done. 🙂
• You can add only one Google account. If you want to switch to another Google account:
  • Go to ‘Settings‘, ‘Accounts‘ and click on your Google Account.
  • On the next screen, click on ‘Manage this account online‘.
  • You will be guided to your Online Microsoft account. Select ‘Remove this connection completely‘.
  • Go back to the People app and add a new Google connection following steps 1 to 7.
• Syncing Google contacts with Windows 10 works for both standard Gmail accounts and Google apps accounts.

Finally, syncing Google contacts with Windows 10’s People app works by using a Microsoft account. You can sync your Microsoft Exchange contacts, Skype contacts, Yahoo! contacts, Facebook friends, LinkedIn contacts, Sina Weibo contacts and Twitter contacts.
