There’s no need to let Facebook and Twitter have all the fun when it comes to iOS integration: Today, Google made an announcement about a new and simplified method for users of Gmail to synchronize their Google Contacts with their iOS devices. In order to enable third-party clients, such as the native iOS contacts app, to sync with Google Contacts, the business is releasing support for an open protocol known as carddav. This will include the ability to sync with Google Contacts. It is currently possible to import your Google contacts onto your iPhone using a variety of different methods. As an example, the Apple App Stores for both iOS and Macintosh have a number of third-party clients that provide the capability to synchronize Google Contacts with your device. I’ve been having a lot of fun with the Mac program called Cobook. In addition, if you cannot use iCloud, you may set up Google Sync or use iTunes to sync your Google Contacts. Both of these options are available to you. If, on the other hand, you have not yet imported your Google contacts by a different method, the new carddav support enables you to rapidly set up contact sync straight on your phone in just a few simple steps. The comprehensive instructions have been supplied on this page by Google, and they are not too complicated because: Open the program that controls the settings on your device. Mail, contacts, and calendars should be selected. To add an account, choose… • choose from among the others • choose the option to add a CardDAV account • provide the following areas with the information pertaining to your account: o-server: write “google.com” in the box. Please enter your entire Google account or the email address associated with your Google Apps account. o-password: the password for your Google account or those of your Google applications. In the event that you have enabled two-step verification, you will be required to create and enter a password that is exclusive to the application. Please provide a description of the account in the o-description field (e.g. personal contacts). At the very top of your screen, pick the next option. It is imperative that you ensure that the “contacts” option is on. After you have completed the setup, the sync will start on its own automatically. Imap is already supported by Google for email, and caldav is supported for calendaring. This gives mobile users on iOS and Android the ability to access Gmail and Calendar, respectively.
