Comments on: Add New Contact To a Specific Group on iPhone

The best way to manage contacts is from the iCloud (web app). If you miss the top left “Groups” button, just create some in iCloud. You can even select multiple contacts.

I really miss some “group features” in iPhone though. Like ringtones assigned to a group, sending SMS etc. And managing groups from the iPhone itself of course.

If I might suggest our “MailShot Pro” app…

This performs the unique trick of creating “group contacts” that you can use as you would a single contact, enabling you to email your group directly from almost all popular apps on your device (including the standard Mail app). It manages its own groups, though it can import from those in your address book very rapidly, if you have them.

A free version is also available on the App Store, so you can “try before you buy.”

Hi,
iPhone really s**ks for this. It is clearly a missing feature. I am using a small free 3rd party iPhone App, easy group
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/easy-group/id461469079?l=fr&ls=1&mt=8

I handle the group management correctly. But really too bad that we need one more app to do this job.

This is clearly a feature oversight on the part of the developers. Here’s a work around:

1. Go to ‘Contacts’.
2. Tap ‘Groups’.
3. Select the group under which you want the new contact to be added.
4. Add the contact without entering the number.
5. Return to ‘Recents’.
6. Select the phone number you would like to associate with the new contact.
7. Tap ‘Add to Existing Contact’.

Hopefully this missing feature will be added in a future release.
