How to add a scanned card to your phone contacts

Last updated on 30 Oct, 2025

 

When you scan a card in Covve Scan, you can add the card details as a new contact on your phone. Here's how:

  1. Open the scanned card.

  2. Tap the "+" icon at the bottom right.

  3. Select "Save to phone."

  4. Tap the drop-down arrow to choose where to save the contact.

For iPhone users:

  • This will open the iPhone new contact dialog. Tap "Done" to create the new contact.

  • If you have multiple contact accounts (e.g., iCloud, Outlook, Google Contacts) and want to save the card to a specific account, set that account as the default in your iPhone settings: go to Settings -> Contacts -> Default Account.

For Android users:

  • A dialog will appear with all the available contact accounts on your phone. Select the account where you'd like to save the contact.
