In web-based email clients such as the Outlook Web App, adding contacts to your contact list is pretty simple and straightforward and it’s right within the Outlook app itself. However for some reason, this isn’t necessarily the case for Google’s Gmail platform. If you’re trying to find a way to add contacts via Gmail, you should probably stop because the option is not there.
If you don’t have the time to go through the steps above to create a new contact and fill out all the particulars, you can also quickly add a contact in Gmail which you can then go back and make the necessary edits when you have more time.
