Manually synchronize Contacts with your online accounts
If you want to get contacts from an online account on your phone
immediately—or upload contacts from your phone to the online account—
you can do a manual sync. This synchronizes Contacts with all the accounts
you have set up on your phone, and it synchronizes your calendar and email
with those accounts also.
1 Open Contacts .
2 Open the application menu and tap Preferences & Accounts.
3 Ta p Sync Now.
Stop synchronization of Contacts with an online account
If you synchronize contacts with an online account, to stop synchronizing,
you have to delete the account from Contacts. This stops synchronization of
contacts only—if you also sync email or calendar events with that online
account, those continue to synchronize. Deleting the account from Contacts
also deletes any associated contact entries from your phone only. The
entries are not deleted from the online account.
NOTE Microsoft Exchange is an exception to other online accounts. If you delete
your Exchange account from Contacts, the account is also deleted from Calendar,
Email, and Tasks.
1 Open Contacts .
2 Open the application menu and tap Preferences & Accounts.
3 Tap the account name.
4 Ta p Remove Account and tap Remove Contact Account.
