How to Enable or Disable Sync Contacts Samsung Galaxy S21

One such feature is the ability to sync contacts across multiple sources to keep all the contacts up to date.

This helps to save time from manually going to each contact source and updating them individually one at a time.

This includes Contacts in Gmail, Signal, Whats-App, Duo, and many more.

The option can also be turned off if it is causing an issue.

Individual sources can be enabled or disabled if you want to turn off a single source from updating the phone and other apps.

Below are the steps to enable or disable the sync contacts option with a Galaxy S21, S21 Plus, and S21 Ultra.
