How do you know the methods for backing up your phone contacts?

I believe many children's shoes in the circle of friends can always see a similar message: "The phone is lost, please send me a mobile phone number again" or "replace the new card contacts, brothers made a call to me" and these I have not been able to develop a good backup address book habits. So, how to back up the most reliable at this stage?

SIM card to save contacts

If you can ensure that the phone is not lost, the safest way is to save the contact on the SIM card, and no matter how you change your phone, you are not afraid of losing the contact. It should be noted that many new mobile phones can't choose to save locations when they create a new contact. The default is mobile local , and you need to use the following methods.

Export address book

Taking the Android mobile phones of various brands as an example, the option of “Export contacts” can be found in the contact setting interface. Clicking it will save the phone address book in the form of .vcf files on the built-in memory card of the mobile phone. We can Upload the vcf file to a commonly-used network disk (or a local computer), download it to the phone when replacing a new computer or new card, and select Import Contacts in the contact settings.

The advantage of this solution is universal, regardless of which brand of mobile phone you change in the future can rely on this method to re-import vcf contacts.

APP backup contacts

Earlier QQ and WeChat integrated backup contact functions, but today's new version has canceled similar functions. Here Xiaobian recommend to everyone "QQ synchronization assistant", this APP can use QQ or WeChat account to log in directly, you can upload local contacts to the server, and support automatic contact backup and automatic deduplication.

The advantages of this program are also universal. Any brand mobile phone can install the QQ synchronization assistant to restore the contacts in the cloud (including messages, call records, and other information) to the local mobile phone, and no longer fear the loss of important phone numbers .

Mobile Phone Manufacturer Cloud Services

Almost all Android phones are pre-installed with their own brand of cloud services. Here, contacts, text messages, call logs, notepads, alarm clocks and other information can be synchronized to the cloud server, and automatic backup can be enabled to ensure that the cloud is always available. The timeliness of the data.

But there is a limitation to this kind of backup method, that is, when your newly-replaced mobile phone is not the brand of an old mobile phone, you cannot enjoy the cloud service of the old mobile phone brand, and it is most suitable for users with high brand loyalty to consider it.

Send contacts directly

Take the OPPO mobile phone as an example. Under the “Import/Export Contacts” interface of the contact setting interface, there is a “send phone book” function. Clicking it will enable local contacts to go via MMS, Bluetooth, WeChat or QQ. Send to other devices.

The principle of this operation is actually to extract the local contact into a vcf file and send it to other mobile phones for recovery. It should be noted that not all mobile phones support the send contact feature.
