Gmail is the bet of Google for the entire universe of email , messaging and topics associated with these actions which are essential for many daily tasks since our email comes with numerous emails from work, friends or family and of course with the account of mail we can register in platforms and others..
We may have decided to have more than one active account, since we may want to differentiate our work email from personal ones, for example. Or we have simply changed our Gmail account and we want to pass on the contacts we had in the old one so as not to lose them. By default Gmail does not have any option to be able to synchronize contacts from different Google accounts. Next we will explain how to do this.
Now, when we create several Gmail accounts, the natural thing is that we want some of the original contacts to be moved to this new account , but doing it manually can take time and errors by forgetting some vital contacts, so TechnoWikis will explain how to move your Gmail contacts from one account to another without problem..
Next, we will see how to transfer contacts between Gmail accounts including the video tutorial on both Android and PC.
