Before we jump into the steps, let’s talk about what we’re going to do. Adding a new contact means that you can call, text, or email someone without having to remember their information. It’ll all be right there on your iPhone.

Step 1: Open the Contacts App

Open the Contacts app on your iPhone.

When you tap on the Contacts app, you’ll see a list of people you’ve already saved. But we’re here to add someone new, so look for the plus sign.

Step 2: Tap the Plus Sign

Tap the plus sign in the top right corner.

That plus sign is like a magic button that opens up a new page where you can add all the details for your new contact.

Step 3: Enter the Contact’s Information

Enter the contact’s name, phone number, and any other details you want to save.

You can add as much or as little information as you like. Want to remember their birthday? There’s a spot for that. Got their Instagram handle? Add it in!

Step 4: Save the Contact

Tap ‘Done’ to save the contact.

Don’t forget to hit ‘Done’ or your new friend’s info will be lost in the digital abyss. Pressing ‘Done’ seals the deal and adds them to your contacts.

Once you’ve completed these steps, your new contact will be saved in your phone. You’ll be able to call, text, or email them without having to remember their details. It’s like giving your brain a little break – thanks, technology!
