The recently updated Google Contacts app has allowed users to choose to back up and synchronize locally stored contact information.
Google Contacts is an app that allows users to back up and sync contacts to a Google account across Android devices, but if you have saved some contacts to your phone ’s local storage, the app cannot sync those contacts.
This means that if a user accidentally loses their phone, they won't be able to retrieve those locally stored contacts via the cloud-unless they have taken the trouble to move the contacts from the body storage to a Google account in advance.
The application on the Samsung Galaxy S10+ will prompt the user whether to back up and synchronize contacts on the device, and confirm the same function on devices such as the Galaxy S9+.
Normally, OEMs will not enable the option to sync contacts to a Google account by default.
As a result, unsuspecting customers lost their sync with the cloud because they placed their contacts in the local storage of their phones.
Although it's unclear how many Android devices already support syncing contact information stored directly to the Google Account.
However, it is certain that this feature will eventually be enabled on all devices, because Google seems to be able to achieve this simply by adjusting server-side settings.
