Move contacts without copying numbers one by one

When getting a new phone, helping a family member, or separating work and personal contacts, copying numbers by hand is exactly the kind of task nobody wants to do

Account syncs can mix calendars, duplicate contacts, or prompt logins you don’t always want to use right then

With QrTransfer.io, select contacts from your address book where they are, open the app on the other phone, and scan the QR code displayed on the screen

When they arrive, you can import them into the receiving phone to have them in the address book without typing names or numbers manually
