Meizu for dummies. Calls and address book. Third-party applications for calls and contacts in Meizu How to change the contact name to Meizu

When purchasing a new smartphone from Meizu, any user first creates his own phone book, adds the numbers of relatives and friends so that he can quickly and easily contact them. However, often names alone are not enough and you want more information in phone book. The ability to put photos on contacts will help with this. However, after this, a logical question immediately arises: how to put a photo on Meiza’s contact page?

Buyers who are little familiar with the devices of this company may not understand at first how to do what they want. This article will help such users and tell you how to set a contact photo on Meizu, and do it as quickly and easily as possible.

Via the Contacts application

How, exactly, do you add a photo to a contact? The first thing you need to do is go to the device's phone book. This can be done in two ways.

The first is to go to the menu item " Telephone", next to the dialing number there will be a category " Contacts» – by clicking there, we will see a list of saved numbers.

With another method, you need to find the application " Contacts", which is located on one of the system desktops. By clicking on it, we immediately get to where we need to go.

After these steps, you can finally post the photo. We will find out what needs to be done next in the next paragraph.

Replacing photo

In the previous paragraph, we figured out how to actually access your saved contacts. However, this is not all that needs to be done. Next, we plan to install a photo on a contact in Meizu.

The first thing you need to do is find the desired subscriber. To do this, you need to scroll down the list of numbers with your finger and find the one that will be configured. However, if your phone book contains many numbers, then the first method will take too long. Therefore, to make the event easier, there is a phone book search function. In order to activate it, you need to find the magnifying glass icon in the upper right corner and tap on it. After these steps, a search bar will open in which you must enter the name you are looking for. After correct input, it will immediately appear before your eyes.

Step-by-step instructions on how to set a photo to a call:

1. Click on the contact itself, it will open. We will see the subscriber's name, and to the left of it a thumbnail image where the photo will be located in the future.
2. Click on the circle with the image next to the name.
3. Next in open window there will be an inscription “ Update photo", click on it.
4. After these steps, a new window will open, here you can select a ready-made avatar from the list below. But if you put a photo, then you need to click on the “ Gallery" or " Camera».
5. The first point will send us to the photo gallery, where we can select any one we want, and the second will take a photo using the built-in camera.
6. After we have taken a photo or selected a ready-made photo, a menu for creating an avatar will appear, where you need to select a part of the image with a square (the best part of the photo). After this, click “ OK" and further " Ready».

That's it, the photo is installed.

Hello friends. One of frequently asked questions, which readers regularly ask me, concerns duplicate contacts in the phone book. This occurs due to improper saving and synchronization between devices. There may be several reasons for this, but it is better to do everything correctly from the beginning so as not to encounter such problems later.

Where can I store my contacts?

The user has four options to store his phone book.

No. 1. SIM card. An option for the most conservative. I strongly do not recommend using it. Firstly, if you save contacts on your SIM, you risk losing them if something happens to the card. Secondly, the amount of information for such contacts is very limited, you may not even have a full last and first name, I’m not talking about email and other data, you simply cannot enter them. Thirdly, the SIM card does not have cloud synchronization, which is also a disadvantage.

No. 2. Phone memory. A more functional option: there are no restrictions on the location and number of characters on the phone, moreover, more information fields are available, the same birthday and other data are available. However, if something happens to the phone, it will also be impossible to restore contacts. By the way, this option is no longer available in Flyme 6.

No. 3. Flyme account. It has all the phone memory capabilities, but all data is saved in the Flyme cloud. This great option data storage, but there is one “but”. When using a Flyme account and a Google account, contacts may begin to duplicate and you will get the same repeat of first and last name.

No. 4. Google account. The most correct and the most reliable way saving your contacts. Firstly, a Google account is more universal; if you are switching to Meizu from another smartphone, then you will only need to log in to your account. Secondly, you can edit contacts using the web version of the service contacts.google.com

How to save contacts correctly?

Open the “Phone” application, go to the “Contacts” section, click on the three dots in the upper right corner, select “new contact”, and then click “Google account”. After the first choice, the system remembers it and subsequently saves all new contacts in this account.

How to find out where existing contacts are saved?

Again, go to the “Contacts” section, open the desired contact card, click on the “more” button and look at “groups”. If “Google” is indicated, then everything is fine, if “Meizu account”, then better contact delete and recreate in Google account.

My contacts were saved incorrectly, what should I do?

Let's say you have all your contacts saved in your Meizu account and you want to transfer them to your Google account. To do this, you need to import them: hold your finger on any contact, click on the “all” button in the upper right corner, then “send” and send the file to your email, for example. Then delete all selected contacts. After that, we open the letter, download this file and open it, our entire list appears, and at the very bottom there is an “import” button, click on it and be sure to select “Google account” in the drop-down menu. Done, all contacts are saved.

After this, do not forget to disable contact synchronization in your Flyme account. There is a corresponding checkbox in your account settings.
