How to put a photo to a contact on Android

When you’re a time with the same phone number, you tend to have a list of contacts quite long. Within how much or how little you’ve been able to update (for example, eliminating those that are no longer you communicate), it is very common to encounter names that are repeated two or more times in the same list. And, sometimes, to put a name or nickname by which you know a person is not enough for you to oneself will be clear who it is. Perhaps for that reason, perhaps because you prefer to have all contacts in your address book perfectly identified and classified, we will see in this article what you can do to put photos to contacts on Android.

The answer is in your phone

The tool you need to put a face to a contact is in your own phone through the Contacts app. To begin, open the app and then find a contact you want to assign an image:

Selection of the contact to edit

Click on it to access its details page, and once inside there, click on Edit contact:

Page of a specific contact

Within this menu, tap the camera icon, at the beginning of the entire list, where should I go to the portrait of the contact itself:

Button to change the contact picture

A contextual menu will open, from where we will choose Make a new picture if we are to take it at that time, or Select new photo if we want to pick one of the gallery. If we choose to do a new picture opens the camera, we’ll have to do the photo and then cropping it so that we can use it for the contact.

If the out of the gallery with Select new photoopens our gallery of photos:

Hence we have to choose one, that then we will have to cut to fit as a picture of our contact, as if we had taken the image:

When the crop is to our liking, clicking on Ok.

In this way, the photo of our contact will be changed, and each time that you call us by phone or go to search on our agenda, we will have visual confirmation is clear that it is that person.
