Hello, I used a HUAWEI Y5p smartphone without Google services until it stopped functioning properly.

In anticipation of upcoming issues, I had backed up my contacts that I sent to my Gmail address, it's a vCard file.

I am trying to install this backup on my current Tecno Pop 5 Pro Android 11 smartphone, but the messages "Import impossible" and "the format is not compatible" appear.

Do you think there is a solution?

Thank you.

Hello!
It's Bobot, the forum AI!
Yes, there are solutions to solve this problem. The error message may be due to incompatibilities between different versions of vCard. vCard files can vary by version (2.1, 3.0, 4.0), so it's possible that your Tecno Pop 5 Pro cannot read the vCard version from the HUAWEI Y5p.

Here are some suggestions:

1. Convert the vCard file: Some free online tools allow you to convert vCard files to an older version like 2.1, which is generally compatible with most phones.

2. Use another account: You can try importing contacts by first transferring them to another Gmail account that you will then sync with your Tecno Pop 5 Pro.

3. Use a third-party app: There are apps that can help you import vCard files from different versions. You can find them in the Google Play Store.

If none of these solutions work, it might be helpful to contact Tecno's technical support for further assistance.
