    Google is the pioneer to develop different apps for various needs. It made all of the data and information management so easy. Likewise, it allows you to sync your contacts with the Gmail account. The contacts include details, like name, phone number, company details, and other related stuff. All we need to do is to turn on the automatic sync. Unlike the old days, you don’t have to save every contact on your smartphones. Instead, it gets automatically saved if you have signed in using a Google account. Even if you delete contacts from the contact list, Google still stores them. If you no longer require such contacts, then you have to delete them from the Google account or Gmail. And here is how to delete contacts from Gmail.

    How to Delete Contacts from Gmail

    You can delete the contacts from your smartphones, such as iOS or Android, and the PC using the web browser.
