OnePlus: How to Edit a Contact

A wrong phone number or an outdated email on a saved contact can cause you to call or message the wrong person. On a OnePlus phone you can correct, add, or remove any contact detail at any time, without creating a duplicate entry. It does not matter whether you are fixing a typo, adding a new field, or clearing out old information.

Edit a Contact auf OnePlus

Contact details on a OnePlus phone often go out of date. A number changes, a typo slips into a name, or an old email address stays attached to a contact who now uses a different one.

The Contacts app stores this data locally and, if the contact is linked to an account such as Google, keeps that copy in sync. Any edit you make here carries over to that linked account as well, so the correction shows up on other devices too.

To change a detail, follow this path: Open the Contacts appChoose a contactTap on EditSelect a fieldEnter the appropriate dataTap on Save.

The same steps work whether you are correcting an existing field, adding a new one such as a second phone number, or clearing a field completely by deleting its content before saving. Nothing is removed permanently until you confirm with Save, so you can back out of a change at any point before that.

If a contact appears twice with different details, editing one entry will not merge it with the other. In that case, check whether the contact is duplicated from two different sources before editing either copy.

Frequently asked questions

Yes, if the contact is linked to an account like Google. After you tap Save, the update syncs to that account and appears on any other device signed in with it.
