Keeping them in Google allows me to look up and update my contacts from any device and makes for easy transfer to a&nbsp; new phone.&nbsp; I started doing this in the early days of smart phones/late days of traditional cell phones, when Google introduced it. Made switching phones a less arduous task because you did not have to go through acrobatics to transfer your contacts from one phone to another and they were always up to date.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>In any case, the sync issue is a Google issue, not a Samsung issue, so you should be contacting them (instead or as well).</P> Wed, 01 Oct 2025 14:09:48 GMT realaud 2025-10-01T14:09:48Z
