How do I create a VCF file for contacts?

The Virtual Contact File (VCF) is a file format used to store contact information of people in your phonebook. Usually VCF files are generated by exporting contacts from your phone’s address book. If you procure a new Android device, you can readily import these contacts into your new Android device, provided that you have previously backed up your contacts into a VCF.

To export contacts saved on the phone root directory into the VCF format, you can use the Contacts app on your Android device. Here are the steps to export vCard on Android:

1. Open the Contacts app on your Android device.
2. Click on the “Fix and manage” icon at the bottom of the page and then tap on the “Export” to file option.
3. Select the contacts you want to export, or use the “Select All” option at the top of your screen.
4. Click on the “Export to VCF” format option, and you are done.

Sending a VCF to an Android phone can be done via email and then importing its content into the phone’s contact. Here are the steps to transfer vCard:

1. Open the Message app on the other phone.
2. Create a message and add the VCF file as an attachment.
3. Enter the body of the message and send it to your Android phone.
4. Open the VCF attachment on your Android phone to view the contact details in the VCF file and save the preferred ones in the phone book.
