Adding contacts
You can add contacts on your tablet and synchronize them with the contacts in
your Google Account or other accounts that support syncing contacts. (For details
about adding accounts, see “Adding and removing accounts” on page 100.)
When you add a new Google Account or other kind of account, Contacts looks for
new contacts that are duplicates of existing contacts and tries to join them into a
single entry. You’re also asked if you want to merge contacts if you add a contact
that matches an existing one. See “Joining contacts” on page 121 and
“Separating contact information” on page 122.
