If you are new to the process, transferring your contacts from a Xiaomi device to Gmail may seem daunting. However, it is actually a simple task that can be completed in just a few minutes. This guide will walk you through the step-by-step process of exporting your contacts from Xiaomi to Gmail.
Step 1: Open the Contacts App
The first step involves opening your Contacts application on your Xiaomi phone. Usually, you can find it on the home screen or in the app drawer.
Click on the Contacts app to open it.
Step 2: Navigate to the Import/Export Section
Once you are in the Contacts app, navigate to the Import/Export section. You can usually find this in the menu settings (the three vertical dots on the top right corner of your screen).
Click on the menu settings > Import/Export.
Step 3: Choose the Export Option
Under the Import/Export section, choose the Export option. This will create a .vcf file with all your contacts.
Select Export to .vcf file.
Step 4: Save the .vcf File
Save the .vcf file in your desired location. You can choose to save it in your phone storage or external SD card. Remember the location where you saved this file as you’ll need it later.
Step 5: Log into Your Gmail Account
Open your PC or another device and log into your Gmail account.
Step 6: Go to Google Contacts
Once logged in, go to the Google apps (the nine small squares on the top right corner of your screen) and select Contacts.
Step 7: Import the .vcf File
In Google Contacts, click on Import and it will open a new window.
Click on Select file and locate the .vcf file saved from your Xiaomi device. Click on Import to start importing your contacts.
Final Step: Check Your Contacts
Once the import process is finished, check your contacts in Google Contacts. If done correctly, all your contacts from your Xiaomi device should now be in your Gmail account.
It’s important to note that the process might slightly vary depending on the version of MIUI (Xiaomi’s custom user interface) you’re using. But it will still be similar to the steps mentioned above.
Happy organizing!
