There used to be a time when losing your phone meant losing
all your contacts. Back in the glory days of feature phones, a
lot of us would rather save our contacts on our SIM cards than
have them on the phone. This is because even if you eventually
need to flash your phone, your contacts are still intact right
there on the SIM. However, losing that phone meant losing
everything.



The world has gone past that and in this modern age, losing a
phone shouldn’t mean losing important data. Cloud storage
has always been an insurance against data loss but
unfortunately, it isn’t receiving much attention in a country like
Nigeria. Still, it’s unthinkable to claim you lost your phone
contacts just because your phone got missing or stolen. If
you’re using a smartphone and understand the basics of using
the Internet, you have no excuse.

It’s rather surprising to still see people announcing on social
media about losing their contacts in the event of a phone loss.

Contacts Synchronization With Google On Android

Almost everyone with an Android phone has a Google account.

At least, for Google Play, right? With this, you should always
have your phone contacts automatically backed up to your
Google account. Even if you lose your Android phone and
eventually got another one, all you need to do is just enter your
Google account details, enable contacts sync and you should
get it all back.



If you’ve an account already, go to Settings > Accounts > select
your Google account and ensure that contacts synchronization
is enabled.



Contacts Synchronization With iCloud on iOS

With an iOS device, you can still choose to sync contacts from
your Google account. This is even more preferable especially if
you’re on both Android and iOS. This keeps your contacts
updated on both devices.



If you still want to do it the Apple way, be sure to enable iCloud
from Settings and see that contacts synchronization is turned
on even if you choose to turn off other features.
