How to Create Contact Groups in Google Contacts

Tap a step to follow along in order.

  1. Open Google Contacts

    Open Google Contacts in your browser.

  2. Click "Create label"

    Click "Create label" in the left menu and give your group a name.

  3. Add people to the group

    Select the contacts you want and add them to the label you just created.

  4. Email the whole group at once

    Click the label, then the email icon, to message everyone in that group in one go.

  5. Why it's worth it

    For family, a club, or a work team you contact often, grouping them means you can reach everyone at once instead of searching for each person individually.

Built for people you message together, not just individually

If you find yourself typing the same list of names into the 'To' field over and over, that's usually a sign it's worth turning into a label. It saves the repeated lookup every single time.

Labels sync to your phone automatically

Because labels live on your Google account rather than a single device, any group you build in the browser shows up the same way in your phone's contacts app the next time it syncs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can one contact belong to more than one group?

Yes, a single contact can be added to multiple labels at the same time.

Do groups sync automatically to my phone?

Yes, as long as you're signed into the same Google account, labels you create sync to your phone's contacts app.
