Adding Contacts from Your Phone

1

Open the People tab in the Messenger app. When you sync your device's contacts list, Messenger will check all of your contacts for Messenger accounts, as well as check if new contacts that you add use Messenger.

2

Tap "Sync Contacts." If you're an iOS device, tap "Find Phone Contacts" first.

3

Allow Messenger to access your contacts. You'll likely need to approve this access when you do this for the first time.

In iOS, the Settings app will open and you'll need to toggle "Contacts" on.

4

View the contacts that were added. If Messenger found any contacts during the sync process, you can tap "View" to see them. You don't need to do anything,l as they are added automatically.
