bluemoon_ken Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 What's the trick to importing multiple contacts lists onto separate labels? I want my Gmail address contacts imported into the folder labeled "Contacts" . I want phone contacts in a folder labeled "Phone Contacts ." I don't want both lists mixed in with each other. No matter what I try, it only allows me to have either a Gmail address folder or a Phone contacts folder, or a folder with the combined contacts. Which folder is the default for email addresses? Contacts, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 i_was_here Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Are you trying to use folders or labels? Where are you doing the importing? If I go to Google Contacts website and try importing contacts, it lets me select which label to apply. Also you could just import all contacts at once and fix the labels afterwards.

0 bluemoon_ken Posted November 7, 2022 Author Share Posted November 7, 2022 (edited) Here's what mine currently looks like The Contacts folder has identical content to the Email Addresses folder. The Phone Contacts folder, which is intended for my exported phone contacts, consisting of over 700 items, is empty, because if I import them, they will also be integrated into my Contacts folder. Every time I want to send a message, I don't want to have to scroll thru over 800 names to find what I'm looking for. Perhaps I'm doing something wrong. That's why I'm here. I've tried, but I either can't figure it out, or it can't be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 i_was_here Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Ok so all contacts under the labels EMAIL ADDRESSES and PHONE CONTACTS will also appear under the general Contacts list (top item). This is normal. EMAIL ADDRESSES and PHONE CONTACTS are labels not folders. Meaning contacts can appear under multiple labels. However you can have separate contacts between the EMAIL ADDRESSES and PHONE CONTACTS labels. Just make sure to select the right label when importing. Also double-check the contacts and make sure they weren't assigned to both labels. If necessary, you can use checkboxes to select multiple contacts and change their labels. bluemoon_ken 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 bluemoon_ken Posted November 10, 2022 Author Share Posted November 10, 2022 ok, so I'm dumb. I didn't realize there was a drop down menu to select your lists 🥵 I just thought, by default, when selecting "To", you were taken directly to the "My Contacts" list. Thanks!!
