Grouping your contacts?

[Rock star poser]

Can you group your contacts on the iphone, if so please tell me how it can be done.

no you cant

i have them all grouped in 'Address Book' eg family, work etc

but the grouping disappears as soon as you sync with the iPhone - has been that way since day 1

if you really need it, there are some third party apps on Cydia

its annoying as im using my favorites on my iphone, as i would prefer to group them as i used to on my nokia, but i might just take your advice and look at third party applications to solve it.

thanks though

mine stay grouped when i sync them with my phone, contacts just appear all grouped together, or you can choose to view specific groups

Using Address Book on the Mac I grouped my contacts and they sync just fine with the phone. The iPhone gives you the option to view numbers in a particular group or all the numbers collected together that are both grouped and ungrouped.

I am using groups, I do have MobileMe, not sure if that makes a difference

In my address book on my mac I create the group and copy the people into it

on the phone address book i click at the top where it says groups, this then shows al the groups

I beleive it does not work with smart groups, tried it once and it didnt work

You can use ABContacts to group your contacts on iPhone.

This is the same for me; my contact groups from my mac are on my iPhone. I am using MobileMe also.

Don't have mobile me, just syncing normally with iTunes. In iTunes when I have my iPhone connected I have the Sync Address Book contacts checked and All contacts selected.
