How to Share Google Contacts Using the Android Mobile App
ContactsFlow™ (formerly Shared Contacts for Gmail™) allows you to enjoy having uninterrupted access to your organization’s shared contacts on your mobile devices. Users also have the ability to add new shared contacts from their phones through the Android mobile app.
In our opinion, mobile devices are – if not the most – important tool for connecting and collaborating with one another. For work or personal use, mobile devices are the embodiment of attaining and building relationships while on the move.
For instance, Michael needs to add shared contacts from mobile, as well as needs constant access to his shared contacts as he is continuously on the move.
Time needed: 3 minutes
- Open the mobile app.
Download it from the Play Store if you haven’t installed it yet.
- Tap the right arrow on the label you want to share.
The app default opens by showing Phone Contacts first. To view your labels, tap the Contact Lists tab.
- On the right hand side of your labels, tap the 3 vertical dots.
- Select ‘Share Contact List‘.
- Enter the email address of the person you want to share this label with.
The autocomplete feature lets you find saved contacts by typing the first few letters of their name. You can also share contact lists with email groups (domain groups) or personal Gmail addresses.
- Press the downward arrow beside ‘View Only’ if you want to change the access level of the collaborator.
‘View Only‘ is the default setting in place for all collaborators.
- Select your collaborator’s access restriction.
- Tap ‘Share Access’.
Here are some extra helpful tips for your Android app!
- To view who has access to the label, tap “Share Contact List” in the three-dot menu.
- To contact someone, select their name to call, message, email, or connect via WhatsApp directly from the app.
- To update details, select a contact to edit their information, add comments, and more.
Congrats, you are now a pro at sharing contact labels on your mobile device!
