DOOGEE Tab E3 Pro: How to Import Contacts from SIM Card to Device

Importing Contacts to DOOGEE Tab E3 Pro

• 💡 Open the Contacts app on your DOOGEE Tab E3 Pro.
• ⚠️ When prompted for notification permissions, select "DON'T ALLOW" to prevent unwanted Google notifications.
• Navigate to Organize → Manage SIM to begin the import process.

Selecting Import Location and Contacts

• 🎯 Tap "More options" and crucially, choose "Device" as the import location, not Google, to protect privacy.
• Review the list of contacts; grayed-out entries already exist on your device and do not need to be re-imported.
• Deselect any contacts you do not wish to import.
• Press "Import" to complete the transfer.

Understanding Import Locations and Privacy

• 🔍 After importing, you can view contacts by location (Google vs. Device) to see where they are stored.
• 🔒 Importing contacts directly to the device prevents Google from accessing and syncing this personal information without explicit consent, safeguarding others' data.
• ✨ The device offers more fields for contact details, such as photos, custom labels, and notes, compared to basic cloud storage.

Backups and Sync Popups

• 💾 Create a VCF backup of your contacts to easily transfer them between devices via Bluetooth or USB.
• 🚫 Be aware that Google may still present popups encouraging you to sync contacts to the cloud, even after selecting the device as the import location.
• 🙅‍♂️ To maintain local storage, decline these sync prompts to keep your contacts private and off Google's servers.
