Export All Gmail Contacts from iPhone in iOS 16 (Quick Guide)
First off, let’s check off the essential requirements!
What are the requirements for exporting all Gmail contacts from iOS?
As already stated above, your iPhone must be running iOS 16 or later to be able to export the entire Gmail contacts at once. The other important requirement is that you must have signed in with your Google account on your iPhone. If you haven’t done it as yet, head over to the Settings app on your iPhone -> Mail -> Accounts -> Add Account -> Google. After that, sign in using your Gmail account. In the end, make sure to turn on the toggle next to Contacts to allow the iPhone Contacts app to sync with Gmail.

Once you have taken care of the requirements, follow the steps below.
- On your iPhone, open the Contacts app.
- Now, tap on the Lists option that shows at the top left corner of the screen.
- Under the Gmail section, touch and hold onto the All Gmail option.
- Next, a popup will appear on the screen with two options:
Email All: Select it to email all the Gmail contacts. Export: Choose it to export all iPhone contacts through other apps like WhatsApp, Messages, and more.
Now, select the desired option based on your needs.
Wrapping Up…
That’s pretty much it! Told you, exporting Gmail contacts from iOS has become dead simple. Not just Gmail contacts, you can also transfer all iPhone contacts or all iCloud contacts from your iOS device just as easily. Since we are talking about contacts, I would like to point out a couple of notable features that have graced iOS 16. First off, you can now delete iPhone contacts a lot faster (through the touch and hold gesture). And second, it has finally become possible to merge duplicate contacts (check out the Duplicate Contacts Found alert under your profile). Be sure to check out these new add-ons, if you are yet to take them on. Read more: How to Remove Suggested iPhone Contacts from Share Sheet in iOS 16
