Some Androids come with a different Contacts app. To make sure you’re using the right app, open the Play Store, search for “Google Contacts,” and tap Install on the Contacts app by Google.

Click or tap See more to expand more options, such as the option for phonetic spellings, nicknames, and more. Feel free to leave anything blank. For example, if you just want to enter an email address for a contact, there’s no need to enter a phone number or anything else.

You can only do this using Gmail. com on a computer—it’s not possible in the Gmail mobile app.

If you don’t see this icon, the person is already in your contacts list.
