How do I import contacts from my phone?

Import contacts from your device into Genify when supported by your plan and device permissions.

Short answer

Open the import option, allow contacts permission, review the contacts you want to bring into Genify, and complete the import.

Steps

1

Open Settings or Contacts.

2

Choose the device contacts import option.

3

Allow contacts access when your device asks for permission.

4

Review the import flow and confirm the contacts you want to add.

5

Check Contacts after import to confirm the new records were created.

Permission requirements

Your device must allow Genify to read contacts before import can work.

You can change this permission later in your phone settings.

Common fixes

If import is unavailable, confirm you are using a supported native app version.

If permission was denied, open device settings and allow contacts access for Genify.

If imported contacts look incomplete, edit the contact directly in Genify after import.

Frequently asked questions

Will Genify automatically import every future phone contact?

No. Import is a user-initiated action. Review the import flow before adding contacts to Genify.
