Add people

Here's how to add people from your existing contact lists and address books:

1.From the Start screen, tap or click People.

2.Open the Settings charm, and then tap or click Accounts.

3.Tap or click Add an account.

4.Select the email or social networking account you want to add, and then follow the on-screen instructions.

You'll be asked to sign in with your account password, and you'll see exactly what info is going to be shared between Microsoft and the account that you're adding. Wait a few minutes, and your contacts will start appearing in the People app. Depending on the type of account, you might also see profile photos, status updates, and other info.

Tips

∙To find out how to add contacts one at a time or add a contact from email, see People app for Windows: FAQs on Windows.com.

∙If you have questions about linking contacts or changing which contacts you see, see People app for Windows: FAQs on Windows.com.

Note As of January 30, 2013, Google no longer supports new EAS (Exchange ActiveSync) connections in some scenarios so how you add contacts to the People app might change. For more info, see How to sync Google services with Windows on Windows.com.

Find people

Once you’ve added people, there are lots of ways you can contact them or catch up on what they’ve been up to.

∙Search In the People app, open the Search charm, and then type the person’s name.

∙Jump to a letter of the alphabet In People, zoom out to see just the alphabet. Select a letter to go right to people whose names begin with that letter.

∙Pin them to Start When you pin people to Start, you’ll see their updates and Tweets as they happen, and then can go straight to their contact info and updates (see Pin a contact to Start).

∙Add them as a favorite Their pictures will be the first thing you see when you open People (tap or click a person in People, then swipe down from the top edge and tap or click Favorite) .

Connect with people

Once you've found some of your people, you have several ways to reach out to them:

∙Send them an instant message or an email.
