So if you have stored contacts in Gmail and are now thinking about how to access them on different devices, you have to look for Google Contacts. Let’s learn how to find contacts saved in Gmail aka Google Contacts on your computer, Android, and iPhone.

How to View Gmail Contacts on Computer
There are two ways to see your Gmail contacts on a PC, both Windows and macOS. You can do it from the Google Contacts website or from any Google product.

3. Using the Contacts App
If you want to regularly access your Gmail contacts from your Android or iPhone, you must enable the syncing of contacts to your phone. Once synced, you can then access them anytime from your phone.

Sync and Access Google Contacts from iPhone
Follow these steps to sync Google contacts to your iPhone:

1. Open Settings on your iPhone.

2. Scroll down and tap on Contacts.

3. Tap on Accounts followed by Add Account.

4.  Select Google from the list of options.

Sync and Access Google Contacts from Android
