How to view or manage android phone contacts on computer

How to View/Manage Android Phone Contacts on PC/Mac? Phone contacts demand effective management, as they’re vitally important for either calls or messages. It’s often the case that you store a stack of contacts on your phone. But unluckily, you’re only allowed to read one at a time, and are unable to read a few in a row or many simultaneously owing to the limitations of your device. There’re times when you need to manage your contacts. For instance, when your friends, schoolmates or colleagues change their addresses as they have moved to a new city and settled down there, when they change their numbers because they have gone abroad for further education or have graduated from college, or when they change other information such as their names or email addresses which are contained in the contact list.

However, managing the data on the device is inefficient, since the contacts cannot be dealt with in batches and typing on the phone takes you much longer than typing on the computer. If you can manage your contacts on a PC or Mac, it’ll be far more convenient and quickly. Contacts aren’t able to be exported to the computer for viewing or processing directly through a USB, for they’re stored within the phone memory internally or the SIM card, not the flash memory card externally where the photos, video clips or audio

files are located. Plenty of you may be wondering whether there’s some way out there to solve the problem by first transferring your contacts to the computer. Luckily, the answer is yes with our strongly recommended tool here, namely Coolmuster Android Assistant.
