How to Attach a Photo to a Contact on the iPhone

| 0 Comments

One of the things I've been doing today is attaching photos to my contacts. While some people have suggested that I search facebook for photos, in most cases, I've already taken pictures of the people that I have phone numbers for, so it's just a matter of finding a good photo, resizing it to (320 x 480) and then sticking it on the iPhone.


I created a photo album on iPhoto called "Contacts" where I put all the resized images of my contacts. This makes it easier for the iPhone to sync up the photos, and for me to add new contacts in.


  1. Once you've synced your Contacts onto your iPhone, you can go to "Photos" and select the photo that you want to use for the Contact.
  2. Touch the box with the arrow in the lower left hand corner of the screen. That should bring up a menu.
  3. Select "Assign to Contact".
  4. Scroll and select the name you wish to assign it to.
  5. Press "Set Photo".

If you use the arrows to the left and right, you can quickly go through the remaining photos and assign them to your contacts quicker than doing it through the Address Book.
