How To Backup Contacts on Android Without Internet

How To Backup Contacts on Android Without Internet

Whenever you Root your Android phone, there is always a risk of losing all your data on your phone, like your Contacts, SMS, MMS, etc. So, you must create a backup of all personal data before rooting your phone. Plus this situation is unavoidable in the case when you install a new custom ROM onto your phone. As before installing a new ROM you have to wipe all the data on phone memory, and also to the cache memory. So all your contacts, SMS, call logs will be deleted. So, why not to make a backup that you can simply restore with a single click after the completing root process or process of changing the ROM.



Now without wasting time, let’s start our work. To start there are two methods you can backup your contacts. Either you can save your contacts on your Memory card, or you could also store them on the cloud via your Google account and later restore them. But in this post we will only learn how to make a backup on the SD card. It is more useful as it is more easy and also easily accessible, you do not need an internet connection for it.

Backup and Restore Contacts on Memory Card
1 - First of all navigate to your phone’s Contacts.

2 - Click on Option and choose the option “Import/Export”.


3 - Select the option “Export to SD Card” or either you could also go with “Export to SIM card”.

"Note - If you have a lots of contacts, it not advisable to store them on SIM card, as SIM card cannot hold bulk contacts and also can't store contact thumbnails (images). So it’s always better to go with the SD card option."

Done! Your phone will create a file on your SD card, which will possess all of the contacts as a backup. Now when you are finished with the root process or the ROM changing process, again navigate to Contacts.
-Then go to option, again choose “Import/Export”.
-This time, choose the option “Import from SD card”.
-Select the backup file you created via the process given above.
-And all of your contacts will be restored.
