How to Edit Android Phone Contacts on PC/Mac
Computer

• A wide range of fashionable and multifunctional
  Android phones of different makes and models are
  available on the global mobile device market,
  which have become a must in people's daily life.
  You have probably used several cell phones since
  quite a few years ago, and are familiar with
  almost all the functions of the devices. But
  therere always some problems youre at your
  wits end to cope with, for as much as your phone
  itself provides no corresponding solutions. One
  of the cases occurring at frequent intervals is
  users desire to manage and edit their contacts
  on a computer for convenience. If you have
  changed your job and have known some new people,
  for the purpose of reclaiming more space for
  storing your new contacts, deleting part of the
  old ones is in great need. Yet its
  time-consuming to do it manually one by one. Itd
  be far better if you could transfer them to your
  PC or Mac, and remove them with fewer clicks.

As I mentioned above, to edit contacts in a batch
instead of doing it one by one manualy one by
one, you need to transfer them to computer as
editable file format beforehand. Well, contacts
are stored in the internal phone memory or the
SIM card by default, instead of the external
flash memory card, SD card, whichs used to store
media files, such as images, videos, audios and
music. Consequently, they cannot be transferred
to the computer for editing as other types of
files simply with a USB cable without the
assistance of any tools. In order to achieve the
convenience to modify, delete or add contacts on
the computer with ease, youre highly recommended
to seek help from Coolmuster Android
