WhatsApp Contacts: Importing from CSV to Gmail

Finalizing Your Contact List

After preparing your contact database (as discussed in previous parts involves creating a CSV file), the next step is to sync it with your phone.

Step 1: Import to Google Contacts

Android phones natively sync with Google Contacts. This is the fastest way to push thousands of numbers to your device.

1. Go to contacts.google.com.
2. Click Import in the sidebar.
3. Select your cleaned contacts.csv file.
4. Wait for the upload to complete. You will see a new label with today's date containing all imported numbers.

Step 2: Sync to Phone

On your mobile device, ensure sync is enabled:

• Settings > Accounts > Google > [Your Email]
• Ensure "Contacts" is checked and tap "Sync Now".
