How do I add new contacts from email in Gmail app

I recently just switched over from the native iPhone Mail app to the Gmail app and I'm enjoying the Gmail app a lot.
However, I have one issue that I can seem to figure out.
With the Apple Mail app, inside any email you can hold down on the sender and it will allow you to save that email address as a new contact.
Is there a way to do this within the Gmail app? When you hold down on the senders info it only allows you to copy the info. It doesn't send it to the Contacts app to make a new contact.
Am I missing something or does the Gmail app just not sync up with Contacts that way?
I'm running an iPhone 4S ios 6.1.3
Thanks!!

The mail app that came with the phone allows you to add email senders as contacts because that feature is built into the iphone operating software.  I have looke dat gmail app on my phone and htere is no way of doing what you said you would like to do

  • Missing contact when "create new contact" from email or number

    I am having a really strange problem on my iPhone and think it will be a fun mystery to solve. Please help me!
    It is currently set up with google so that my mail/notes are using gmail IMAP and my contacts/calendars are using Google Sync. So far it's been working pretty well except for all the known many bugs and issues (please fix these, google!). I have no other email, calendar, or contact accounts set up (not even syncing with my computer).
    I received an email from a friend who I did not yet have a contact for, so in the email header I clicked her name and chose to "Create new contact." As usual, the email address was already in the "email" field, so I just edited her name and filled out the "company" field and pressed Done. The "from" field in the email updated to show that the contact had been added to my phone and that it recognized the email as being from her.
    Now, I go to add a number to her contact and when I navigate through my contacts list, her name is no where to be seen. I've tried searching through the contacts by using the search bar at the top of both the Phone and the Contacts apps, but nothing shows up. However, when I compose an email and start typing her address, it recognizes her as a contact. Even weirder, I just tried the entire phone search spotlight feature, and it found her contact right away, as if it were any normal contact. When I click on it, it brings me to her contact page, which I cannot edit, and when I press the little left arrow "Contacts" in the top left of the screen to go back to the whole listing, she's not there!
    When I go to add contacts using the little + symbol in the top right of the phone app, it works normally and the contact appears as usual. But every time I try to do a new contact from email, this happens! Choosing to "update existing contact" works fine, though. So I've been forced to create an empty contact with her name in the Phone app, and then add the email to it.
    Please help my find where in my phone this contact is residing, and how to bring it out so I can find it. I have tried force-quitting the relevant apps from the multi-task dock, and even turning off and on my phone, but to no luck.
    Update: Just tried creating a new contact from a phone number I've previously dialed and the same thing happens! Where are my contacts going?? This is so weird!
    Not sure if this is just a google sync issue, but I figured I'd post it in case other people are having similar issues
    Device: Apple iPhone 4
    Carrier: AT&T
    Country / Language: USA English
    OS: iOS 4

    I recently experienced a similar event. I was adding from Contacts "+" button on the iPhone 4. I completed entering the data & hit "done". I went back to add a photo. I hit "done" & went to test the result. No new contact. Search did not find it. Tried two more times with different contacts. Same result.
    At one point, the "All Contacts" directory went blank. Nothing. Seconds later the contacts returned. Scary. I rebooted the iPhone. No new contacts but old ones fine.
    I then entered with an old iPhone on OS 3.2 same data. Showed quickly via MobileMe. On the new iPhone added photo the photo. All OK. From an iPad, OS3 I did the same. Added photo in new phone. All OK. I added from the new iPhone including photo. All OK.
    The iPhone IOS4 reboot may be the answer. Wish I had tried older systems before reboot.

  • How do I add a contact from the same company to my address book?

    How do I add a contact from the same company to my address book? I do not want to re-type all of the information. Thanks for your help.

    Any card in your address book can be duplicated. Select the card within the Name column, and use the Edit > Copy menu item followed by the Edit > Paste menu item. Then you can update the card copy and only change the name/email/phone fields as needed.

  • Add new contact from Recent no longer working

    I was in the process of adding a contact from my Recent Calls list. Another call came in, so I took it. When I went back to complete the process, the contact add screen was gone.
    Now, after multiple shutdowns and restarts of the phone, I can't add a contact from my recents list. It's as if partially entered screen is lurking in the background, and until I complete it, it won't give me a new screen to fill out for another number. (This is my interpretation of the issue.)
    Anyway, when I click on the Create New Contact or Add to Existing Contact buttons after hitting the arrow to the right of the number in the list, nothing happens. The text and call buttons still work.
    How can I get the phone to "release" the partial data, if that's the issue, and start giving me the screen to enter the contact info?

    Try adding a contact from another app, like Maps or email yourself a vCard.
    If that doesn't work, you'll need to restore the iPhone from backup or setup as a new device.

  • Can't create new contacts from email message

    I get an email message that has a phone number in it and of course an email address. I want to create a new contact. I hold down on the phone number and a dialog appears asking if I want to add to contacts. I select it and press Create New Contact. I type in a name. I click Done. The dialog disappears. I go to Contacts and there is no entry. Is this supposed to work?
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks.

    This solved it. Don't know why. Shouldn't be like this. When I searched for it, the file appeared. Not only it it appear but my three other attempts appeared as well. All four of them are in Contacts. That's a bit wacked I think.
    Thanks very much.
    Wait it gets better. I went back to the email. Clicked the email address to save it. Selected Add to existing contact. Found the contact. Added it. Click Done, and the name is gone again from the Conatcts directory. Used the search function again, and it reappeared.
    But there's more. Left the phone app. Came back to it and the name is gone again. Apparently every time I want this name I have to add it by searching in Spotlight, and of course it's not updating iCloud so it's never going to get back to my computer.

  • How do I get existing contacts from Exchange to gmail or icloud?

    With iPhone 4, my contacts synced automatically with my gmail. However, since upgrading to iPhone 5s, they are no longer syncing. The problem is that I only discovered this now, with many new contacts not synced. I have fixed the problem for contacts entered into my phone from now on, but how to I get all of the ones already in there into gmail? I tried syncing to iCloud and they wouldn't upload/sync to there either...

    Select the Exchange contacts and drag them to the Desktop to create a vCard file. Double-click the file. When prompted, select the account to which you want to add them.

  • How do you "Add a Device" from the iOS remote app multiple times?

    Anyone know a way to trigger the "Add a device" feature in the iOS remote app after you've already added one?
    I have multiple Apple TVs scattered around the house and multiple people who would like to use them.  I have home sharing set up through my Apple ID so this works great for me.  For everyone else, I'd rather not sign my account in on their devices, even if its just for home sharing.  They can "Add a device" in the remote app to connect to one of the Apple TVs, but only one. 
    I'm using iOS 8, iPhone 5s and 6, Apple TVs 2nd and 3rd Gen

    I would rather not sign my account into other people's devices.
    As I mentioned, I already have my own devices signed into home sharing.
    Alternatively, is there a way to get an Apple TV attached to multiple home sharing accounts?
    If there is, I could have each of the people in my household set up home sharing on their own accounts.
