Import Google contacts to iPhone

It so happens that most of my contacts are saved in Gmail. So every time I switched to a new iPhone or needed my contacts on multiple devices, I found myself stuck in the same annoying loop—trying to import Google contacts to iPhone and get everything to sync properly.

I tried different methods, followed various guides, and even double-checked my settings, but something always went wrong:

❌ Some of my iPhone contacts just wouldn’t sync with Google
❌ Gmail syncing would randomly stop working, and I’d have no idea why
❌ After transferring, some contacts simply disappeared into thin air
