Merge your iPhone contacts and Gmail

You may need: mediAvatar iPhone Contact Transfer

Contacts just naturally accumulate, but iPhone and Gmail systems use very different ways to collect information about the people we interact with. So if we check our contacts on iPhone and Gmail clearly, you would find it's nearly impossible to maintain a single list of contact information that our iPhone and e-mail services can share.

The other day I noticed the entry for a new contact in Google had her mail addresses but not her phone numbers, and her entry in my iPhone had the phone numbers but not her e-mail addresses. Dozens of these little inconsistencies make it a little more conveninet, but it's really troublesome to compare the contact information in my iPhone and Gmail then enter the information manually. Thus finding an easy way to merge contacts in iPhone and Gmail becomes very important.

There're two methods to merge your contacts in iPhone and Gmail. One is to export iPhone contacts as .csv or .vCard file and import the backup file into Gmail, another is to backup Gmail contacts as .csv or .vCard file then import the file into your iPhone.
