Backup iPhone Contacts!
Hello Friends!
Welcome back to AppleFrendly.
Video #72 In my previous video I showed you
how to edit photos for Instagram
and today, I'm going to show you how to backup iPhone contacts on iPhone.
If this video helps, give it a big thumbs up and share it with your friends and loved ones!
So, without further ado, let's get started!
Well, you can always use, iCloud and iTunes to backup iPhone contacts.
But those methods have some limitations
and hence I'm going to use this free app from the App Store,
'SA Contacts Lite'
This app will help you to export contacts from iPhone in different formats
like Excel
VCF, OUTLOOK and few more.
And you can easily transfer contacts from iPhone to Android
or transfer contacts from iPhone to iPhone.
And you can find the app download link in the description below.
So, let's launch the app.
It'll ask you for the permission to access your contacts.
Select OK
And, this is the App layout.
Here, under PROPERTY STYLE, if you tap this box,
you should find various options to export
iPhone contacts.
Like BACKUP, MIXED,
SEPARATED, CUSTOM,
OUTLOOK, OUTLOOK.COM,
GMAIL and VCF.
I'll select this VCF option which is very versatile and very useful
if you want to transfer contacts from iPhone to Android.
Now tap START
and you should see your contacts being backed up.
Now your iPhone contact backup file is ready and you've got different options
to export this backup file.
You can use iTunes file sharing option,
WiFi
Email
or save to different cloud services.
I normally use iTunes file sharing option to save my VCF files to my external hard drive.
You can select your preferred method.
So, tap CONTINUE.
And you should see a message saying your file has been saved in File Sharing Folder.
Now you just need to connect iPhone to iTunes and copy this VCF file to your desktop
or external hard drive or to another phone.
But before doing that, let's export contacts from iPhone with few more different formats
for the demo purpose.
Now, I'll select SEPARATED.
START
& CONTINUE
Again,
and this time, I'll select BACKUP.
START
& CONTINUE
That's all!
Now let's go to iTunes and copy these contact backup files to desktop.
So, launch iTunes on your Computer or Mac and connect iPhone.
Now tap this little iPhone icon.
Scroll down and select FILE SHARING option.
And, on the right hand side, look for SA CONTACTS.
And on the right hand window, you should find all the iPhone contact backup files.
Now, select these files
Scroll down
And select SAVE TO
This should open up the browser window.
You have to hit this option 'SELECT FOLDER'
That's all!
Now, when you launch that particular folder on your computer or mac,
you will have your iPhone Contacts Backup file in different formats.
This is VCF file.
Most versatile and useful. And my favorite.
Then there is this SEPARATED format which has Excel file with all of your contact information
and contact photos.
And finally, there is this BACKUP format with again excel file and contact photos.
You can edit these excel files on your Computer or Mac and restore back to your iPhone
using the same App.
Pretty useful, right?
So, I hope now you know how to Backup iPhone Contacts
and how to transfer contacts from iPhone to Android
or how to transfer contacts from iPhone to iPhone.
And that's all for today!
