How to Share Contacts Directly from Gmail

For quick contact sharing, you don’t need to open Google Contacts or the Shared Contacts app. Everything can be done directly from your Gmail window. This makes it quick and convenient,  especially when you’re already communicating with someone new and want to save or share their details right away. This is how you setup contact sharing directly from Gmail:

  1. Open the side panel in Gmail. On the right-hand side of your Gmail inbox, activate the side panel if it’s hidden.
