This wikiHow teaches you how to add someone to your Gmail contacts. Gmail automatically adds people to your contacts list when you send them a message, but you can add contacts manually using Google Contacts. If you have an Android, you can use the Google Contacts app. If you're using a computer, iPhone, or iPad, you can access Google Contacts on the web at https://contacts.google.com. You can also add contacts directly from Gmail messages when viewing your Gmail inbox on a computer.

  1. 1

    Go to https://contacts.google.com in a web browser. You can do this in any web browser on your computer, phone, or tablet. If you have an Android, you can opt to use the Google Contacts app instead of your web browser, which has a blue icon containing a white outline of a person.[1]

    • Some Androids come with a different Contacts app. To make sure you're using the right app, open the Play Store, search for "Google Contacts," and tap Install on the Contacts app by Google. If the app is already installed, great!
    • If you're not already signed in, you'll be prompted to do so before you can continue.

  2. 2

    Click or tap the + . It's the plus sign at the bottom-right corner on a phone or tablet, or + Create contact at the top-left corner on a computer.

    • If you're using an Android, this should automatically open the "Create new contact" window.

  3. 3

    Click or tap Create a contact (computer and iPhone/iPad only). This opens the "Create new contact" window. If you have an Android, just move to the next step.

  4. 4

    Enter the person's contact information. Enter their first name, last name, phone number, and email address in each appropriate field, but they might be pre-filled if that contact's Gmail information is correct.

    • Click or tap See more to expand more options, such as the option for phonetic spellings, nicknames, and more.
    • Feel free to leave anything blank. For example, if you just want to enter an email address for a contact, there's no need to enter a phone number or anything else.

  5. 5

    Click or tap Save . It's at the bottom-right corner. This saves your new contact to your Gmail contact list.

  1. 1

    Go to https://www.gmail.com in your web browser. This will open your Gmail inbox if you're already signed into your Google account in your web browser. If you're not signed in, follow the on-screen instructions to do so now.

    • You can only do this using Gmail.com on a computer—it's not possible in the Gmail mobile app.

  2. 2

    Click an email message from the person you want to add. The contents of the message will appear.

  3. 3

    Hover your mouse over the person's name. It's at the top of the message. After a few moments, a small pop-up window will appear.

  4. 4

    Click More Info on the pop-up window. It's at the window's bottom-left side. This expands a panel on the right side of Gmail.

  5. 5

    Click the Add Contact icon. It's the outline of a person with a plus symbol at the top-right corner of the right panel. This adds the sender to your Gmail contacts.

    • If you don't see this icon, the person is already in your contacts list.

If you want to add all your contacts to one group, follow the same process, except select one box, then click the box at the top of the page, which will let you select all contacts.
