Syncing google contacts on iOS
| January 20, 2011 | Posted by matt under gadgets, howto, techie |
I use my google account to keep my addresses synced up between all my devices. I realized that I was creating contacts on my iPhone or iPad and they weren’t showing up in my address book on my mac or in my google account. A simple google search didn’t seem to turn up what the issue was, and then after poking around a bit I realized what was going on. By default, when you connect your google account to your iOS device, it appears that it creates new contacts on the device, and not on your google account.
It was pretty easy to fix. Just go to the Settings app…
Tap on Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Then scroll down to the Contacts section.
Tap on Default Account, and make sure it’s set to your gmail contacts account, not ‘On My iPhone’. Contacts should now sync to your gmail account immediately when you update or add them.

Do you like green eggs and ham? These eggs and ham tasted great, but I couldn’t get anyone else in the family to
try them.
