How to Share Google Contacts Using the Android Mobile App

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.


To enjoy contact sharing directly from your mobile phone, just install the Shared Contacts for Gmail® mobile app on your Android or Apple stores.
