Hi mussie291,

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. We understand you want to add your Gmail contacts to your device, and we're happy to help. See how to add contacts from an email account here:

1. Go to Settings > Contacts > Accounts.

2. Tap Add Account.

3. Tap the service that you have an account with. Or tap Other to set up a contacts account, like an LDAP or CardDAV account.

4. Enter your information and password.

5. Tap Next.

Thanks.
