Adding Google Contacts to Your Mac

Are you tired of manually transferring your contacts from your Android phone to your new Mac or iPhone? Do you want to easily keep all your contacts in sync across all your devices? If so, this tutorial is perfect for you.

To add your Google account to your Mac and enable wireless syncing of your contacts, follow these simple steps:

Step 1: Open the System Settings

First, click on the Apple icon from the top left corner or from the bottom Dock to open the System Settings. From there, scroll down the left sidebar and click on Internet Accounts.

Step 2: Sign in to Google

In a couple of seconds, you will see Google's 'Sign in to continue to macOS' page. Type your Gmail password and confirm the sign-in on your phone or via OTP - if asked.

Step 3: Set up Contacts

Once the sign-in is successful, bring your attention back to the System Settings window. Click on the 'Contacts' option under Internet Accounts. You can proceed with this setup or uncheck options other than Contacts, and then click Done.

Step 4: Verify Your Account

You've successfully added your Google account to your Mac, and it will appear in System Settings. This means your Google account is ready to be used inside the Apple Mail, Contacts, Calendars, and Notes app. Here, you will see that the boxes for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, and Notes are already checked.

The Benefits of Syncing Your Contacts

By adding your Google account to your Mac, you can wirelessly sync all your current and new contacts across all your devices. This approach is perfect if you want to use your Mac alongside your Android phone or if you think that someday in the near future, you will move from iPhone to Android.

Plus, when you add a new contact, edit details of existing contacts, or delete a contact on your Mac or Android phone, the changes will appear on all your devices. This means you can easily keep your contacts up-to-date and accessible from anywhere.

Exporting Your Google Contacts

If you want to move from Android to the Apple ecosystem, you can easily export your Google contacts and import them to your iCloud (Apple) account added to your Mac or iOS devices. You have two easy options to get your Google or Android contacts on Mac: adding your Google account to your Mac or importing your contacts using a CSV file.

Adding your Google account to your Mac is a simple process that can save you time and hassle in the long run. With this tutorial, you can easily sync all your current contacts to your Apple computer and keep them updated across all your devices. Whether you're switching from Android to iPhone or just want to simplify your contact management, adding your Google account to your Mac is a great way to go.
