How do I perform a "standard" sync?

With a standard sync, you are in control of when your contacts are synced, and you will have the opportunity to override how each contact is synced before the sync is executed. I recommend performing a standard sync during your initial sync. After your initial sync, you may want to consider automatic syncing.

1. Go to the Sync Menu and select "Standard"
   
   
2. Choose from one of the following sync types:
   
   • "2-way Sync"
   • Syncs contacts in both directions, updating both your iPhone and Google.
   • "Gmail Contacts -> iPhone"
   • Updates your iPhone contacts with the latest changes from Gmail
   • "iPhone Contacts -> Gmail"
   • Updates your Gmail contacts with the latest changes from iPhone
   • "Manual Sync"
   • Sync selected contacts only
3. Once you press the "Begin" button, the app will prepare to sync your contacts and then prompt you to confirm the sync.
   
   
4. To confirm the sync, press "Continue" and keep the app open while it performs the sync.
