The importance of backing up your important information and contacts cannot be overstated. Google has made it easier than ever to set up multiple accounts on your Android device. If you lose your phone, having your contacts backed up to another account ensures you won't lose all your important numbers.

If you have more than one Google account on your Android device, you may be wondering how to transfer your contacts between them. Thankfully, there are some easy ways to do this on Android. Let's take a look.

1. Use the Google Contacts App

You can easily transfer your contacts from one Google account to another with the Google Contacts app. It's pre-installed on most phones, but you can download it from the Play Store if you don't already have it.

Here's how to move your contacts between accounts:

1. Sign in to both of the Google accounts on your device. To add a Google account, navigate to Settings > Accounts and backup > Manage accounts. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and tap Add account.
2. Select Google and enter your credentials.
3. Next, open the Google Contacts app. In the top-right corner, tap the profile icon to select the Google account from which you wish to transfer your contacts.
4. Long press to select the contacts you wish to transfer. To transfer all of them, tap on the three-dot icon on the top-right and choose Select all.Once done, tap the three-dot menu in the top-right corner. Tap on Move to another account to transfer the selected contact(s) to your desired Google account. If you've got more than two Google accounts, you'll need to select the correct Google account from the dropdown menu.
5. Once done, tap the three-dot menu in the top-right corner. Tap on Move to another account to transfer the selected contact(s) to your desired Google account. If you've got more than two Google accounts, you'll need to select the correct Google account from the dropdown menu.

   

   One of the advantages of using a Google account is that it offers you a convenient way to store and back up your important information. You can use your Google account to back up photos and documents as well, and if you accidentally lose anyone's details, you can easily restore deleted contacts.

   While Google Contacts can be an invaluable resource, it can become increasingly challenging to keep up with a cluttered contact list. We recommend using these quick tips to help you manage your Google Contacts list more effectively.

   2. Transfer Your Contacts In Gmail

   You can also move your contacts between two Google accounts from within the Gmail app. This method also requires you to have the Google Contacts app installed on your smartphone. Here's how you can do this:

   1. On your device, open the Gmail app and tap on the menu icon in the top-left corner.
   2. Scroll down and tap Contacts. You'll be redirected to the Google contacts app or you'll be prompted to install the app if you haven't already done so.
   3. Long-press to select your contacts. If you need to transfer all your contacts, tap on the three-dot icon on the top-right and choose Select all.
   4. Once this is done, tap the three-dot menu in the top-right corner, and choose Move to another account.
   5. Select the desired Google account from the drop-down options to transfer your contacts.

   3. Download a Copy of Your Contacts Using Google Takeout
