How do I move a contact on the iPhone from one group to another?

Solution 1:

You need to use your AddressBook application for that and sync the iPhone again.

There is no Group support but for reading on iOS.

• you can't create groups

• you can't move to and from groups

• you can only create a contact in a group if a group exists － Windows user can edit your group through iCloud.com/contacts

Solution 2:

I had the same problem. I found this page looking or a solution. I wasn't satisfied with the above. So I did the following:

• Email the contacts to yourself (share contact).
• In the contacts app, make sure you are in the proper group (for me, my gmail account with exchange)
• Import the contact. It should be adde to the group you selected in the previous step.
• Now go check the contact is in the correct group, and if so, delete the one in the old group.

Solution 3:

Orbicontacts worked very well for me, and it is free

Solution 4:

I have been using Copytrans Contacts - the difference between this app and I would say most of the rest is that:

• You can use it to add/edit/remove contact groups on your iPhone via your computer

• You can easily move iPhone contacts between groups via drag/drop

Solution 5:

The Speed Names app will do it. How could they have missed doing this in iOS 5? All those clever people at Infinite Loop and no one wants to move a contact from one group to another? Or perhaps they have no friends?
