How many of you lost all contacts when the phone was broken or lost? Approximately one in five will answer positively. But now it's all in the past. With a Google account, you can protect all your contacts from loss – because now they are stored on secure servers on the Internet.
You can always access your saved contacts over the Internet (through your Google account) or restore them to a new phone. How to do it? We read further.
Go to Settings> Google> Contact Recovery.
First, select which Google account you want to restore contacts from (before that, you had to set up data synchronization). If you haven't registered an account on your phone yet, add it.
Your Google contacts are automatically synchronized with your devices (phones, tablets, if you have several of them and they are linked to one Google account).
We see a backup of the device from that can be restored.

And in the future they will be automatically synchronized. Those. added a contact to the phone – it was copied to the Google account.
