如果您已将手机恢复出厂设置或不小心删除了重要联系人并需要将其恢复,那么您可能会走运。大多数较新的Android型号会自动配备一两个备份服务,让您轻松检索联系人。
以下是您可以在Android设备上恢复联系人的方法以及如何设置自动备份,这样您就不必担心再次丢失它们。
使用Google(Google)通讯录恢复通讯录
如果您使用 Google通讯录(Contacts)(或开启了 Google 的自动备份服务),那么您很幸运。该应用程序或网站将允许您恢复任何意外删除并立即恢复您的联系人。此方法可用于您手机的联系人列表以及Gmail联系人列表。
使用 App 恢复 Google 通讯录
要使用该应用程序恢复您的联系人:
- 打开Google 通讯录(Google Contacts )应用。
- 点击三个水平线(three horizontal lines)。
- 选择设置(Settings)。
- 向下滚动并点击撤消更改(Undo Changes)。
- 选择您的Google 帐户(Google Account)。
- 选择(Select)您想要撤消更改的时间。选项有 10 分钟、一小时、一周或自定义时间量。
- 点击确认(Confirm)。
使用网站(Website)恢复Google 通讯录(Google Contacts)
要使用网站恢复您的联系人:
- 加载Google 通讯录(Google Contacts)( Google Contacts)网站。
- 使用您的 Google 帐户登录。
- 点击屏幕右上角的齿轮图标,然后点击(cog)撤消更改(Undo Changes)。
- 在弹出窗口中,选择您想要撤消更改的时间,然后点击撤消(Undo)。
注意:(Note: )此方法仅在您激活了 Google 的备份服务后才有效。但是,如果您有,它应该适用于 iPhone、Mac、iPad 和Android用户——尽管 iOS 用户可能会更幸运地访问他们的 iCloud 备份。
使用备份恢复联系人
如果您已创建联系人备份,则可以使用此备份将丢失的联系人列表恢复到手机。为此:
- 打开设置(Settings)。
- 点击谷歌(Google)。
- 选择设置和恢复(Set up & Restore)。
- 点击恢复联系人(Restore contacts)。
- 您可能需要通过点击From account来选择您的(From account)Google 帐户(Google Account)。
- 选择包含您要复制的联系人的手机,然后点击恢复(Restore)。
- 当您的手机显示“联系人已恢复”消息时,该过程已完成。
使用三星云(Samsung Cloud)恢复联系人
如果您是三星(Samsung)用户并且已启用三星云(Samsung Cloud)来创建数据备份,您将能够通过该服务恢复已删除的联系人。就是这样:
- 打开设置(Settings)。
- 点按帐户(Accounts) 和备份(and backup)。
- 点击恢复数据(Restore data)。
- 点按您要从中恢复联系人的手机。
- 确保勾选了通讯录,然后点击(Contacts)恢复(Restore)。
注意:(Note: )即使在恢复出厂设置后,此方法也可以使用。
使用智能开关恢复联系人
如果您购买了一部新的Android手机,并且需要从旧手机转移您的联系人,您可以使用Android的Smart Switch功能。这将传输您的所有数据,包括联系人、短信和通话记录。看看我们关于如何使用 Smart Switch 的教程(tutorial on how to use Smart Switch)。
注意:(Note:)您无法将联系人恢复到使用较低版本的Android手机,因为该文件将不兼容。
如何恢复屏幕破碎的联系人(Broken)
如果您的屏幕损坏并且没有备份丢失的数据,那么从设备存储中恢复数据将是一个挑战。事实上,在尝试任何Android联系人恢复应用程序之前更换屏幕可能会更好。
首先,考虑一下您保存联系人的位置。如果联系人存储在您的 SD 卡或SIM卡(而不是手机的内存)上,请尝试删除这些并将它们安装到新手机中。还要仔细检查可以保存您的联系人的所有帐户,例如您的Gmail帐户、Google 通讯录(Google Contacts)、Outlook等。
下一个最佳选择是尝试通过 On The Go ( OTG ) 电缆和鼠标访问手机的数据。如果您的手机支持该功能,您可以 connect it to a TV/computer。根据您的固件,这通常需要启用USB调试(如果您的屏幕不工作,这可能无法进行)。
连接到屏幕后,您可以通过USB数据线连接鼠标并使用它来浏览手机的菜单、允许文件传输以及通过上述方法传输联系人。
备份您的联系人
有几种方法可以备份您的联系人列表,以确保它不会被意外删除。
注意:(Note: )许多网站会建议使用Android数据恢复工具来恢复已删除的联系人。不幸的是,这不太可能奏效,并且大部分Android 恢复软件不应该被信任( Android recovery software should not be trusted)。
方法 1:手动导出您的(Export Your)联系人
第一种方法是手动备份您的联系人列表。为此:
- 打开联系人(Contacts)应用程序。
- 选择三个垂直点(three vertical dots)。
- 点击管理联系人(Manage contacts)。
- 点击导入或导出联系人(Import or export contacts)。
- 点击导出(Export)。
- 选择您要从中导出联系人的存储设备,然后点击导出(Export)。
- 这会将联系人列表作为.VCF文件导出到您的内部存储。最后,您希望将.VCF文件传输到安全位置,例如云服务器或 SD 驱动器。
方法 2:打开自动备份
首次设置手机时,系统会询问您是否希望Google 帐户(Google Account)自动备份手机数据。要手动激活此设置:
- 打开设置(Settings)应用程序。
- 点按帐户和备份(Accounts and backup)。
- 点击备份数据(Back up data)。
- 在 Google 下,点按立即备份(Back up now)。
我们的建议:备份您的数据
没有什么比意外删除您的数据更糟糕的了,无论是电话号码、游戏存档还是重要文件。
希望(Hopefully)通过本教程,您能够恢复丢失的联系人,但简单的解决方案是始终确保将您的数据备份在一两个安全位置,例如外部硬盘驱动器或云服务。这样,即使您的数据被删除,也可以轻松恢复。
How to Restore Contacts on Android
If you’vе factory reset your phone or accidentally deleted your important contacts and need them back, you may be in luck. Most newer Android models automatically feature one or two bаckup services that will allow you to retrieve your contacts with little fuss.
Here’s how you can restore contacts on an Android device and how to set up an automatic backup so that you never have to worry about losing them again.
Restore Contacts Using Google Contacts
If you use Google Contacts (or have turned on Google’s automatic backup service), you’re in luck. The app or website will allow you to revert any accidental deletions and restore your contacts immediately. This method can be used for your phone’s contact list as well as your Gmail contacts list.
Restore Google Contacts with App
To restore your contacts using the app:
- Open the Google Contacts app.
- Tap the three horizontal lines.
- Select Settings.
- Scroll down and tap Undo Changes.
- Select your Google Account.
- Select how far back you’d like to undo changes. The options are 10 minutes, one hour, one week, or a custom amount of time.
- Tap Confirm.
Restore Google Contacts with Website
To restore your contacts using the website:
- Load the Google Contacts website.
- Log in using your Google Account.
- Tap the cog icon at the top-right corner of the screen and tap Undo Changes.
- In the pop-up, select how far back you’d like to undo changes and tap Undo.
Note: This method will only work if you have activated Google’s backup service. However, if you have, it should work for iPhone, Mac, iPad, and Android users alike – though iOS users will probably have better luck accessing their iCloud backup.
Restore Contacts Using Backups
If you’ve created a backup of your contacts, you can use this backup to restore your lost contacts list to your phone. To do so:
- Open Settings.
- Tap Google.
- Select Set up & Restore.
- Tap Restore contacts.
- You may need to choose your Google Account by tapping From account.
- Select the phone which contains the contacts you’d like to copy and tap Restore.
- When your phone displays the message “Contacts restored”, the process is completed.
Restore Contacts Using Samsung Cloud
If you’re a Samsung user and have enabled Samsung Cloud to create backups of your data, you will be able to restore your deleted contacts via the service. Here’s how:
- Open Settings.
- Tap Accounts and backup.
- Tap Restore data.
- Tap the phone you wish to restore contacts from.
- Make sure Contacts is ticked, then tap Restore.
Note: This method will work even after a factory reset.
Restore Contacts With Smart Switch
If you’ve purchased a new Android phone and need to transfer your contacts from an old phone, you can use Android’s Smart Switch function. This will transfer all of your data, including contacts, text messages, and call logs. Take a look at our tutorial on how to use Smart Switch.
Note: You cannot restore contacts to an Android phone using a lower version as the file will be incompatible.
How to Recover Contacts With a Broken Screen
If you have a broken screen and haven’t backed up your lost data, recovering data from your device storage is going to be a challenge. In fact, you may be better off replacing the screen before attempting any Android contacts recovery apps.
First, consider where you have saved the contacts. If the contacts are stored on your SD card or SIM card (rather than the phone’s memory), try removing these and installing them into a new phone. Also double-check all of the accounts where your contacts could be saved such as your Gmail account, Google Contacts, Outlook, etc.
Your next best option is to attempt to access your phone’s data via an On The Go (OTG) cable and mouse. If your phone supports the function, you can connect it to a TV/computer. Depending on your firmware, this will generally require USB debugging to be enabled (which may make it impossible if your screen isn’t working).
Once connected to a screen, you can connect a mouse via a USB cable and use it to navigate your phone’s menus, allow file transfer, and transfer your contacts via the method above.
Backup Your Contacts
There are several ways to back up your contacts list to ensure that it isn’t accidentally deleted for good.
Note: Many websites will recommend using Android data recovery tools to recover contacts that have been deleted. Unfortunately, this is unlikely to work and a large proportion of Android recovery software should not be trusted.
Method 1: Manually Export Your Contacts
The first method is to manually back up your contacts list. To do so:
- Open the Contacts app.
- Select the three vertical dots.
- Tap Manage contacts.
- Tap Import or export contacts.
- Tap Export.
- Select the storage device you’d like to export contacts from and tap Export.
- This will export the contacts list to your internal storage as a .VCF file. Finally, you want to transfer the .VCF file to a safe location, such as a cloud server or to your SD drive.
Method 2: Turn Automatic Backup On
When you first set up your phone, you will have been asked whether you’d like your Google Account to automatically back up your phone’s data. To activate this setting manually:
- Open the Settings app.
- Tap Accounts and backup.
- Tap Back up data.
- Under Google, tap Back up now.
Our Advice: Back Up Your Data
There’s nothing worse than accidentally deleting your data whether it’s phone numbers, game saves, or important documents.
Hopefully, with this tutorial, you were able to restore lost contacts, but the simple solution is to always ensure that your data is backed up in one or two safe locations such as external hard drives or cloud services. This way, even if your data is deleted it can be easily restored.
