Help Contact Synchronisation

[Foxtrot1972]

New to Android, on a Sony Xperia X. Looking for advice on how best to synchronise contacts which are sitting on my Outlook.com account. I have the 'sync. contacts' setting activated but this seems flaky at best - sometimes showing contact names against text messages, for example, and sometimes not - also, presentation of contact card photos is very inconsistent.

Is there a better way to get contacts into the Android contact app. (I assume that's what I need to be doing) or other ways that work well for synchronising contacts?

Thanks.

Have you signed into your Outlook account in the account settings?
Settings>Accounts

Yes, I have that account added, plus the email details added into the Outlook app. for Android.

Go here.

https://contacts.google.com/

Select More>Import>Outlook

Hope that helps.

Probably easier if you do it from a computer.

Works nicely actually, obviously it kind of becomes the primary place for editing and creating contacts - which is fine, but at least the synchronisation is working now. Thanks !
