After saving the contact in the storage, you can send the contact file using Bluetooth.

There are two ways to turn on Bluetooth.

Look for the contact file on the File Manager app on your OPPO phone. Press and hold the file and tap [Send] and choose [Bluetooth].
5. Choose the device to transfer the files.
Tap the device you wish to transfer the files. Accept the Bluetooth pairing request on the other phone and tap [OK] / [Accept] to allow access. The contacts will start transferring to your new phone.
6. Select a destination to store the contacts
Once transferred, on the new phone, select [Phone] as the destination to store the contacts. The contacts are successfully imported to your phone storage.
Note: When the device uses Bluetooth to transfer contacts, the contacts must be converted to a corresponding format before transferring.
