When I want to add a new contact, it defaults to adding it to the SIM1 card.
I dont want this, but cannot find where to change the default account for new contacts.
I've read the post about the s8/note regarding the default new contact location, but sadly this does not work for the A51, because the suggested options are not available.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi @ChaHo. Give this a try: Open the Contacts app (the orange icon and not from the phone app), tap on the 3 lines to the top left and then on Manage Contacts. At the bottom of this list, you can choose the default storage location. Hope this helps!

Glad to hear it, @ChaHo! Let me know if you need anything else.

Hi CarlH, I know this is a really old post but I was hoping that you might know where this option moved to on the newer crop of phones? I have the Galaxy Z Flip 3, and the instructions above work fine up to the point where default storage location is at the bottom of the list under Manage Contacts - it isn't any more!
Any idea where I might look for it now?
Many thanks

In case this helps anyone else - I posted this query on another thread and someone there came up with an answer that worked for me (defaulting to google account, not using google app):
Hope it helps someone else too!
