Adding a new contact

To add a new contact, open the Contacts application and click on the "+ Add contact" button located in the top right corner of the screen. A new window will appear, where you can enter the contact's information, such as name, phone number, email address, among others. After filling in the necessary fields, click "Save" to add the contact to your list.

Editing an existing contact

To edit an existing contact, find the contact in your list and click it to open its details. Click the "Edit" button to make changes to the contact information. Remember to click "Save" after making your changes to ensure the updates are applied.

Deleting a contact

If you want to delete a contact, find the contact in your list and click on it to open its details. Then click the "Delete" button and confirm your action in the pop-up window that appears. Please be aware that deleting a contact is permanent and cannot be undone.

Syncing contacts with other accounts

The Contacts app in Windows 11 allows you to sync your contacts with other accounts, such as Google, Outlook, and iCloud.

Once your account is synced, your contacts will automatically be imported into the Contacts app.

Importing and exporting contacts

The Contacts application also allows you to import and export contacts. To import contacts, click "Settings" and then "Import". You will be asked to select a .CSV or .VCF file from your device. Once selected, the contacts will be imported into the application.

To export contacts, follow the same process, but click "Export" instead of "Import". You will be asked to choose a location to save the .CSV or .VCF file that contains your contacts.
