A new way to sync Google Contacts

A new way to sync Google Contacts:

Posted by Jeff Ellingson, Product Manager


For many years, we've supported two open protocols for accessing Gmail and Calendar from mobile apps

and devices: IMAP for email and CalDAV for calendar. These protocols, combined with the options to

access Gmail, Calendar, and Contacts with your desktop or mobile browser and via native apps on iOS and

Android, help ensure you have a great experience regardless of the device you use.


Starting today, we're adding CardDAV - an open protocol for contacts - to that list. CardDAV enables 3rd

party clients, like the iOS contacts app, to sync your Google contacts. By supporting IMAP, CalDAV, and

CardDAV together, we’re making it possible for 3rd parties to build a seamless Google Account sync

experience.


To sync your Google Contacts on iOS using CardDAV, please follow these instructions in our Gmail Help

Center.
