Importing Phone Contacts

You can import your phone contacts directly from the settings menu.

Import Process

The Dex app will ask you for permission to access your contacts. You can then select from a list of your phone contacts in alphabetical order that you would like to add to Dex. After you have selected your contacts to import, you have the option to set keep-in-touch reminders so you won't forget to reach out.

Things to Know

• Groups cannot be imported. See the Groups section if you want to organize your contacts through Groups.
• Each import puts the contacts it adds into a new group named Mobile import on followed by the date. To clear out an import you didn't want, filter your contacts by that group, select them all and archive them from the toolbar.
• You can also follow this guide in importing your Google Contacts (If you have Google Contacts managing your phone contacts)
• Once the import is done, the contact's photos will be imported as well.
• Error: "Unable to load Mac Contacts" when uploading .ABBU file - Upload the address book to your iPhone and import the contacts from the mobile application through the "Import from Phone" option.
