Lately we’ve got several requests from our users claiming that some of their contacts are not synchronized to the mysms web app. You might have already recognized this problem. In some cases numbers are shown instead of contact names in your mysms web app. Or you might not be able to find your contact when you’re sending a new message from the web.
The source of this issue lies outside of mysms, in your contact app on your Android. In order to guard against confusion we’d like to give you a step by step solution on how to get all your contacts to all your mysms apps.
It’s important to know that we only sync those contacts to your mysms Facebook, tablet, desktop and web app that are visible in the contact list of your mysms Android app.
- So first of all, please check if a certain contact (you think is missing in the web app) is in your mysms contact list.
- You can do this by clicking on the “New Text” icon in your mysms Android app,
- and entering your contact’s name. If you can’t find it, it is not in your contact list.
check your contacts on mysms
If this is the case, your contact is probably not visible in your contact app either. Please do the following:
- Open the contact app on your Android
- Go to “Settings”, “Contacts to display” and activate the contacts that you would like to display (e.g. Google, phone and sim).
- After activating the missing contacts, they will be visible in your mysms Android app.
- Perform a manual sync and your contacts will be synchronized to your mysms Facebook, tablet, desktop and web app.
