Can I import only some contacts from a .vcf file instead of all of them?

No. The import function on Coloros always adds the entire content of the selected .vcf file. To limit what gets imported, remove the unwanted entries from the file before transferring it to the phone.

Will importing a vCard file create duplicate contacts?

Yes, if the same numbers already exist in your list. Coloros does not merge or check for duplicates during Import, so it is worth reviewing your contact list afterward.

Is Bluetooth import different from importing a .vcf file?

Both use the same Import menu, but Bluetooth pulls contacts directly from another paired device instead of reading a stored file. The result is the same: the full contact list from the source gets added without a selection step.

Can I import only calls or messages instead of contacts?

This menu path is limited to Contacts. Calls and messages are not covered by Tap on Import and need separate backup or transfer tools.

Oppo: Import Contacts from a vCard File

Switching to an Oppo phone often means your old contacts sit in a vCard file or on another device, and there is no simple sync button for that. Coloros only lets you import a full .vcf file or pull contacts directly from another phone via Bluetooth, without any option to pick single entries from the list. If you only need a handful of numbers, you end up with everything from the source file instead.

Import Contacts from a vCard File auf Oppo

Oppo phones running Coloros handle contact import through the built-in Contacts app rather than a separate sync tool. You can bring contacts in from a .vcf file stored on the device or transfer them straight from another phone over Bluetooth.

There is no way to preview or deselect single entries during import. Whatever the source file or the other device contains gets added to your contact list in one go, so duplicates are possible if some numbers already exist.

Menu path for importing contacts

Open Contacts and tap on Open the Menu. Go to Settings, then tap Import.

Pick Choose From where to import and confirm with OK. Next select Choose Where to import, then browse to and select a .vcf file to finish the transfer.

If you are moving contacts from another Oppo or Android phone, the Bluetooth transfer route inside the same Import menu skips the file step entirely, but it still copies the full contact list from the other device.

Use this import for a one-time move of an entire address book. For syncing an account going forward, a linked Google account handles updates automatically and avoids repeating this manual import.

Frequently asked questions

Most phones and email accounts can export contacts as a .vcf file from their own contacts or account settings. Save that file to your Oppo phone's storage first, then use Contacts ➔ Open the Menu ➔ Settings ➔ Import to select it.
