You probably don’t want all your contacts on your phone, because that will slow down the process of searching or scrolling through contacts to make a call.

So which accounts should you connect to your phone? Each of these accounts has its own corresponding Google Contacts list. For example, I have a work Google Apps account, a personal Gmail account, and a separate personal Gmail account (reserved for beta signups, receipts, Craigslist sales, and other junk where I don’t want to give out my personal email). Many people have multiple Google accounts that include contact lists. If you’re an, Yahoo, or Hotmail user, don’t worry – we’ll help you out in a future blog post.

This entire process will take 10-15 minutes max, and it will save you a lot of confusion later. In the meantime, we’ve written up a quick guide to help you get things set up right. We’re working on some new features for the Contact+ address book app that will make the process of syncing your contacts with an iPhone much, much easier. This is a common pain point for iPhone users – especially compared to the relative ease of setting up an Android to sync with Google Contacts. We hear from a lot of folks who have trouble syncing their iPhone Contacts with their Google Contacts. Just install Contacts+ For iOS and you can sync your contacts from Google, Twitter, and more. UPDATE: We’ve made it incredibly easy to sync your iPhone and Google contacts.
