VCF files to Galaxy S7

Question

I have a Samsung Galaxy S7 running Android version 7 (Kernel Version is 3.18.14.12365438). I want to import my PC contacts from Outlook 2007 or my iPhone 6S. I also generated the .vcf files, which include photos of the contacts.

All the files have been in the download folder on the phone. How to continue and update the contacts?

Answer 1

As you have the contacts in form of .vcf file(s), you can use the Contacts app's native import functionality:

1. Start the contacts app
2. Tap the "3-dot-menu" (top-right of the screen)
3. From the drop-down menu that opens, chose "import/export"¹
4. On the next page, chose "Import from SD card"²
5. A file browser should open and let you chose the file to import. Pick your .vcf file
6. Now your contacts should be imported. If you have multiple files, repeat above steps.

¹ _{if there is no "import/export" directly in that menu, check the sub-menus – e.g. Manage contacts or Settings}
² _{might be phrased slightly different, like "import from internal storage"}
