Now and then, Instagram introduces new features to help users connect with their friends easily. Connect contacts is one of the convenient features this platform offers. It enables you to sync your phone contacts with Instagram and display a list of people available on Instagram.
Not only this helps you connect with friends and family but it also saves a great deal of time. You don’t have to search for each user manually and scan all the search results. This approach works so rarely as hundreds of Instagram users have the same name.
If you are unfamiliar with this option, we can guide you step by step on how to enable contact syncing and take advantage of this facility.
As we know Instagram launches new updates frequently, and the settings options also change with these updates. Therefore, we’ve made sure to mention the steps available on the latest Instagram version.
