How to View/Manage Android Phone Contacts on
PC/Mac?
Phone contacts demand effective management, as
theyre vitally important for either calls or
messages. Its often the case that you store a
stack of contacts on your phone. But unluckily,
youre only allowed to read one at a time, and
are unable to read a few in a row or many
simultaneously owing to the limitations of your
device. Therere times when you need to manage
your contacts. For instance, when your friends,
schoolmates or colleagues change their addresses
as they have moved to a new city and settled down
there, when they change their numbers because
they have gone abroad for further education or
have graduated from college, or when they change
other information such as their names or email
addresses which are contained in the contact
list.

• However, managing the data on the device is
  inefficient, since the contacts cannot be dealt
  with in batches and typing on the phone takes you
  much longer than typing on the computer. If you
  can manage your contacts on a PC or Mac, itll be
  far more convenient and quickly. Contacts arent
  able to be exported to the computer for viewing
  or processing directly through a USB, for theyre
  stored within the phone memory internally or the
  SIM card, not the flash memory card externally
  where the photos, video clips or audio files are
  located. Plenty of you may be wondering whether
  theres some way out there to solve the problem
  by first transferring your contacts to the
  computer. Luckily, the answer is yes with our
  strongly recommended tool here, namely Coolmuster
  Android Assistant.
