Why does my Android phone fail to read the contact list I exported from Outlook?

[garycarter]

The file format is typically the issue if your Android phone is unable to read the contact list you exported from Outlook. Android smartphones have the ability to read contacts in VCF format whereas Outlook typically exports contacts in CSV format. The Outlook contact list in CSV format cannot be immediately imported onto your Android phone since CSV and VCF are different file types.

The following are the most typical causes of this problem-

• Outlook provides CSV while Android wants VCF.
• CSV files might not accurately transfer fields to Android.
• Special characters in CSV can occasionally be misread.
• Since the system does not identify CSV files as contacts uploading them straight to phone storage will not function.

How to solve the problem-

You must first convert the CSV file to VCF format in order to effectively transfer your contacts from Outlook to Android. Your phone can read and import all of the contacts without losing any data once they are in VCF.

Using an expert converter tool is a dependable method of accomplishing this. The Softaken CSV to VCF Converter is one such tool that assists you in-
