I'm trying to change some of my contacts storage location on my Galaxy s23. I've seen other Galaxy's have a "move contact storage location" in contact settings under manage contacts. My phone does not have that option. It only has "import contacts" and "export contacts". Even with that, though, it will only let me import/export all of my contacts. It won't let me select specific ones. Does anyone know how to move a contact's storage location on the s23?
One option to transfer a single contact is by using "vCard file (VCF)" > go into contacts app > tap on contact > share > (vCard file VCF) > choose what data of contact you want transferd > choose where to share contact to.
If you don't have the move contacts option, check to see that you have the latest version of the contacts app. If you have the latest version and do not have this option, go to the contacts app information and delete the app data. This won't delete your contacts, but will reset the app and should bring back all the proper settings options. You might want to "export" your contacts first - just in case.
As far as moving or exporting, I do believe it's an all or nothing option, no way to select only specific contacts. Creating VCards will only preserve the contact information for the contacts you select, it will not change the storage location. If you are syncing your contacts with Google (should be on by default), you can open a web browser and go to contacts.google.com, select specific contacts and "export" them to a .csv file. You can also point your contacts app to Google contacts as your default storage location.
