Huawei: Add a New Contact with Full Details

Adding a contact on your Huawei phone with just a name and number skips details like birthday, address, or a relationship note. Many people also miss the option to set a custom ringtone for a single contact right when they create it. Those extra fields exist, they just sit one step further than the basic form.

Add a New Contact auf Huawei

The Contacts app on your Huawei phone opens with just two fields visible when you start a new entry: name and phone number. Extra details like birthday, address, relationship, website, or a custom ringtone sit one step further and many people never open that extra screen.

Where the extra fields are hiding

Open ContactsTap on AddType in a nameTap on Phone numberType in a numberTap on Add more fieldsAdd more contact informations and tap on save.

The Add more fields step unlocks the additional entries in one screen instead of forcing you to save first and edit later. This matters if you want a contact card that already carries a birthday reminder, a work address, or a personal ringtone the moment you save it.

If you only need a quick number for a call, save the contact with just name and number and add the rest later. Fields added this way stay attached to the contact regardless of whether it later syncs to a cloud account or stays stored on the phone only.

Frequently asked questions

No. You can save a contact with only a name and number, then open it again later and use the edit option to add an address, birthday, or ringtone at any point.
