Welcome. In front of me is a Xiaomi Redmi A1 and today I'll show you
0:05
how you can copy your contacts from the SIM card to the phone. So to get started you want to open up your standalone contacts application which is
0:16
located by default under the Google folder right over here. I'm not going to be signing in so I will select skip
0:25
And once you have your contacts visible you can select fix and manage and in here import from SIM
0:36
Give it a second. Come on. There we go. So that took a little bit of time to actually load those contacts
0:53
So as you can see these are all the contacts that I have on my SIM card. By default they will all be
0:57
selected as long as they aren't already on my phone but I didn't have any contacts as you've
1:03
seen so I'll select it. From here I can deselect some of them by just unchecking them and from
1:08
there all I need to do is select import. It asks me a stupid question if I want to keep or
1:14
remove these contacts. I would strongly recommend keeping them because it's not like they're being
1:21
displayed in your contacts right here from the SIM card so it's not really changing it right
1:29
And if for some reason you need to reset your phone maybe you lose your phone or well technically
1:37
if you lose your phone you lose your SIM card but maybe your phone breaks right. You wouldn't be able
1:41
to back up your contacts as does this would leave you with all the contacts that are on a SIM card
1:46
still. If you remove them and your phone breaks you're kind of bummed. So anyway as you can see
1:52
there are all the contacts. For me also I didn't have any kind of question if I want to import
1:57
those contacts to my phone or somewhere else but normally if you are logged into your Google account
2:02
that would show up as an option. When selecting import you could just like right at the top let
2:06
me just quickly show it again. Import from SIM card you would see like I believe right here option to
2:12
import it to your device or as an example Google account. And later on once you import them you
2:19
would click right over here where the phone icon is and this will then allow you to switch between
2:23
device and your account. And obviously all the contacts that have been imported to your Google
2:28
account will be stored on the cloud so any kind of device that is logged into the same account
2:34
will also be sharing the same contacts. But with this being said this would conclude
2:42
