Manage your contacts with ease on your Galaxy phone and tablet

Instead of shuffling between different apps to get all of your contact information, keep it all in one place by setting up a profile in the Contacts app.

1. Navigate to and open Contacts. 
2. Tap your name that appears in the My profile section. 
   
3. If needed, sign in to your Samsung account.
4. When you’re logged in, you will see all of your information listed, such as your phone number, email, Emergency contacts, and more.
5. Tap Edit at the bottom of the page to edit your desired information.
   
6. When you're finished, tap Save in the bottom right-hand corner.
7. Now your profile and contact information will be easy to find whenever its needed.

For additional options, you can use Samsung Cloud to sync data across your other devices, as well as Google to back up and sync your contacts.

You can also share your profile information with others. That way, you can send your contacts one big message instead of typing it out every time.

1. To go to your profile page, open Contacts, and then tap your name at the top of the screen.
2. Tap Share, and then select either vCard file (VCF) or Text.
   Note: On some devices, these options may be worded differently.
3. Select the contact info to share, then tap Done.
4. Choose your sharing method, and send your profile.

Now everyone will get one tidy message with the info they need to reach you.

3. Next, fill out their contact information and personal details. You can add multiple numbers and addresses in the Phone and Email fields by tapping Add phone number or Add email.
4. When you're done, tap Save to add them as a Contact.
