How many contacts can you save in your phone (as opposed to the SIM card)?

Welcome to Blackview (Well-known brand of rugged waterproof phone) blog. Hope the guide helps.

The number of contacts you can save on your phone (as opposed to the SIM card) largely depends on the device's storage capacity and the specific operating system.

Contacts in phone



For Android Phones


  • Google Account: If you're saving contacts to your Google account, there’s no specific limit, as Google allows you to save up to 25,000 contacts. Each contact can have multiple fields, including phone numbers, emails, addresses, etc.
  • Device Storage: If you're saving contacts directly to your phone's internal storage, the limit depends on your device's memory. Practically, modern smartphones have enough storage to save tens of thousands of contacts without issues.


For iPhones (iOS)


  • iCloud Account: When using iCloud to save contacts, the limit is around 50,000 contacts, similar to Google.
  • Device Storage: Saving contacts directly to the iPhone without syncing to iCloud also depends on the device's storage capacity, but it's rare to reach a limit due to the vast storage available.


For Other Accounts (e.g., Exchange, Outlook)


If you’re syncing contacts with other services like Microsoft Exchange or Outlook, the limits are usually defined by those services and can vary.



In summary, when saving contacts to your phone's internal storage or cloud services like Google or iCloud, you can typically store tens of thousands of contacts. The practical limit is usually tied to the service provider or your device's storage capacity.
