How To Add Favorites Contacts On Iphone Ios 14

Okay, let's be honest. Sometimes technology feels like it's deliberately trying to confuse us. I mean, it's supposed to make our lives easier, right?

Adding favorite contacts on your iPhone? Sounds simple enough. But sometimes, finding the exact way to do it in iOS 14 feels like searching for a matching sock in a black hole.

The Phone App Approach

First, fire up your trusty Phone app. You know, the one you ironically use less and less for actual phone calls these days.

Step 1: The "Favorites" Tab

See that little star icon down at the bottom? That's your gateway to favorite-dom. Tap it.

Empty? Don't worry! We're about to populate it like we're playing digital matchmaker.

Step 2: The All-Important Plus Sign

Up in the corner, you'll spot a plus sign (+). It's practically begging to be tapped.

Go ahead, give it some love. This is where the magic happens.

Step 3: Choose Your Champion

A list of your contacts appears. Select the person you want to elevate to favorite status.

Choose wisely! These are the people worthy of your super-speed dialing (or texting, let's be real).

Step 4: Decide How You Favor

Now, iOS 14 asks you how you want to favor them. Call? Text? Video chat?

Pick your poison. Or, you know, their preferred method of communication.

Step 5: Repeat and Conquer

Keep adding those favorite faces until your list is bursting with VIPs.

Now, wasn't that... moderately straightforward? Okay, maybe not at first.

The Contacts App Option

There's another way to skin this digital cat! Head to your Contacts app.

Step 1: Find Your Star

Search for the person you want to make a favorite.

Open their contact card. Scroll down to find the "Add to Favorites" button.

Step 2: Tap That Button!

It's pretty self-explanatory. It's like a shortcut to favoritism.

Choose which method of communication you'd like to save as your favorite.

My Hot Take (Unpopular Opinion Alert!)

Here's my confession: I think the whole "favorites" thing is a little overrated. Hear me out!

I mean, who actually uses the phone app to make calls anymore? We're all texting or WhatsApp-ing, right?

And let's be honest, the people we really want to talk to? We probably already have their number memorized. Maybe I'm just old school.

Plus, the more favorites you have, the less special each one feels. It's like the participation trophy of contact lists.

Maybe that's just me. But hey, at least now you know how to add them in iOS 14, just in case you do want to join the favorites club.

Now go forth and favoritize! Or don't. I won't judge.
