Adding and editing contacts

You can create, edit, and synchronize your contacts in a few simple steps. You can

select contacts saved in different accounts and manage how you display them on your

device.
If you synchronize your contacts with more than one account, you can join contacts on

your device to avoid duplicates.

Some synchronization services, for example, some social networking services, do not allow

you to edit contact details.
