Re: Android 7 - moving phone contacts

I really think you're making things unnecessarily complicated for yourselves.
Lol it's the way we've always done it since we first got Android phones so it's easy for us but I'll accept not the way younger folk might choose to.

The idea isn't to get rid of the Google contacts and rely on SD card, SIM or whatever, just choose which ones we wish to display as we've always done in the past. My phone (A 4.4.2) for example lets me display contacts from Google, the phone, SIM1 or SIM2. It lets me copy to/from my Google account, both SIMs, the SD card and the phone's internal storage. We both like that functionality and don't find it complicated.

What happens if we decide we don't want our contacts stored/backed up via Google? I'm not suggesting that's the case but there must be an alternative surely.
