I recently upgraded to the Galaxy S22 Ultra. I have contacts stored in different locations; Some on the phone, Google, and/or Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync. After I installed Outlook, all "New Contacts" I'm adding are defaulting to the Microsoft Exchange storage location. I would like to add all New Contacts to the phone itself - not to Google or Microsoft Exchange.
Samsung Contacts app version 13.1.30.0
Android 12
How do I change the default storage location to the phone only?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Galaxy S22No, I'm using the native Samsung Contacts app that came with the phone. I've used it on my older Samsung phone, and there was a setting in the app where I was able to designate the "Phone" as the default storage location. But I cannot find it in the current version.

Galaxy S22I figured it out.
1- Click on the "Three bar" icon on the left side of the app
2- Click on "All Contacts"
3- It Expands to show all Account(s)/Phonebook(s)/Storage Locations linked in the Samsung Contacts App
4- Select the Account/Phonebook/Storage Location where you want to Add a contact
5- Click on the + icon to Add a contact to that specific Account/Phonebook/Storage Location
