Steps to Add Contacts in Gmail

Have you ever wondered how the contacts get added to your Google account? We may have manually added phone numbers but emails are not what we generally add. Well, Google is there for you. If you have personally mailed someone, Google will pick the IDs from Gmail emails and automatically save them for future consideration.

Do you know you can add a Gmail contact manually? Surprised? Here is how you can do it in two different ways:

Via Google Contacts Page

Step 1:

Visit homepage of Google.

Step 2:

Find the 9-dot icon at the right top corner of the homepage.

Step 3:

Click on the Contacts app.

Click on it and a drop-down menu will appear. Find the Contacts App on that menu and click on it.

Step 4:

Choose Create Contact.

Two options will appear when you choose this option at the left menu bar of the Google Contacts webpage. These two options are:

• Create a contact
• Create multiple contacts

Let us focus on creating a single contact.

Step 5:

Choose Create a Contact.

A box will appear with multiple empty fields such as first name, last name, company, job title, email, phone number, birthday, notes, etc. Fill the required empty fields accordingly.

Step 6:

Save Contact.

Click on the Save button at the right side and let Google save the information you have just added to your account.

This is how you can easily add a new contact via your Google homepage.

Via Gmail

Step 1:

Log in to your Gmail account.

Step 2:

Find your Gmail Contacts at the top-right menu option.

Click on it to open your Gmail or Google Contacts webpage.

Step 3:

Click on Create Contact.

Find the Create contact option at top of the left menu bar. Click on it.

Follow the same process of adding a contact via Google Homepage.

There is another way to add a contact via Gmail emails. Here is what you need to do.

Step 1:

Open your Gmail Inbox.

Step 2:

Hover your cursor on an email.

A floating dialogue box will appear closer to your cursor. It will display the unsaved email ID and an option to add the contact.

Step 3:

Choose Add to Contacts.

The email ID of the sender will get saved on your Gmail Contacts list. You can edit the contact to input more information.

Remember, if the email ID of a sender is already saved, you will find the option Open Detailed View on that dialogue box.

Accessing your Gmail contact list is super easy and can be really helpful. Your Gmail contact list is like your virtual address book, where you keep all the email addresses and names of your friends, family, and important contacts. You can easily scout the Gmail emails and manage the contacts.

In this guide, we will show you step-by-step how to find and manage your Gmail contact list. You’ll learn how to add new contacts, edit existing ones, and even delete those you no longer need or duplicate ones.
