You can add or assign Photos to Contacts on your Android Phone to make your Contacts list more colorful, instead of having Contacts represented by the first two letters of their names on your Contacts List. Adding Photos to Contacts is easy on your Android Phone and we will show you the steps.
Another advantage of assigning Photos to Contacts on your Android Phone is that your Contacts Photo will appear on the screen whenever they are calling you. This will allow you to immediately recognize who is calling you, without having to read names.
