Backing up contacts is still very important! I have tried to transfer Android contacts to computer before. After studying for a while, I finally found this simple method and shared it with you:
- Make sure your phone contacts have been synchronized with your Google account. Open Settings -> Accounts and Sync -> Select your Google account and make sure the "Contacts" option is turned on.
- Open Google Contacts on a computer browser.
- Click "Export" in the left menu and select the format (CSV format is recommended so that Windows 11 can read it easily).
- Save the file to the computer and you're done!
Advantages: simple and safe, no additional tools required; Disadvantages: requires a Google account to bind contacts.
