Viewing phone contacts in the Zoom Mobile App

You can view your phone's contacts in the Zoom mobile app, allowing you to invite them to sign up for Zoom or call them using Zoom Phone. This feature is also known as phone contacts matching.

Note: This article provides an alternative to syncing your contacts with a third-party service. Contacts sync is not supported on the Zoom mobile app, but you can follow this article to sync contacts with your phone's native contacts app and then view contacts on the Zoom mobile app.

 

Prerequisites for viewing phone contacts in the Zoom mobile app

  • Zoom mobile app for Android or iOS 
  • Phone number that can receive text messages

Note: If you're running the Zoom mobile app in a virtual sandbox environment (for example, Parallel Space or VMware Intelligent Hub), you may experience issues using this feature.


(Optional) How to sync contacts with a third-party service

Most native contacts apps support syncing with third-party services like Google, Office 365, or Exchange. Visit these websites if you need help syncing your phone's contacts app:

  • Google Android
    Note: If your phone has a customized version of Android (for example, Samsung devices), visit the phone manufacturer's support site.
  • Apple iOS

After enabling sync, follow the next section to view your phone contacts in the Zoom mobile app.
