Method 1: Export Contacts from Old Phone and Import to New Phone
- On your old phone, go to the Contacts app and select "Export" or "Backup" (the exact steps may vary depending on your phone's operating system).

Method 2: Use a Cloud-Based Service to Sync Contacts

- Your contacts should automatically sync between your old and new phones.
Method 3: Use a Third-Party App to Transfer Contacts
- Download and install a third-party app like Transfer My Contacts, Phone Transfer, or Copy My Data on your old phone.
- Follow the app's instructions to export your contacts from your old phone.
- On your new phone, install the same app and follow the instructions to import your contacts.
