Lost all Contacts

II accidentally deleted all my contacts on my pixel 6 phone. I have tried recovering them from Google contacts with no result. I can open Contacts.Google.com and use my contacts through that but it's not the same as using regular contacts. I have gone around so many circles trying to search out solutions to this problem on the Internet and none of them seem to work, My contacts are available on my PC and I don't know of a way to transfer them to the mobile phone

Absolutely, Stewie. If you’ve got your contacts saved on your PC—whether in a .CSV, .VCF (vCard), or simply within Google Contacts—there are several ways you can get them back onto your phone. Here's a quick rundown:


➡️ Transfer Options​


1.​


If your contacts exist in your Google account:


  • Go to Google Contacts on your PC.
  • Sign in with the same Google account linked to your phone.
  • On your mobile, go to Settings > Accounts > Google > Sync Contacts and toggle it on.

2.​


If you've got a .vcf file:


  • Transfer it to your mobile (USB cable, Bluetooth, email, or cloud storage).
  • On your phone, open the Contacts app > Settings > Import > From .vcf file.

3.​


If you have a .csv file:


  • Go to Google Contacts.
  • Click Import > Select File and choose your .csv.
  • Sync your Google account on your phone like in step 1.

4.​


If your contacts are stored in an app like Outlook:


  • Export to .vcf or .csv from the app.
  • Then follow steps 2 or 3 to get them onto your device.

5.​


Some software like Syncios, MobileTrans, or Dr.Fone offers PC-to-phone contact transfer if you prefer GUI-based steps.




If your contacts are only visible in the browser and not syncing properly (like the person in the Early Bird forum), the VCF export/import method is probably your best bet. Want help walking through one of these steps?

what do you mean you tried "recovering from google contacts with no results"? what happened? do you mean you tried syncing your google account and nothing happened? or was there an error? were your contacts on your phone sync'd with google? or were they only saved on your phone?

Did you follow our advice, were you be able to retrieve them?
