Xiaomi Redmi 8A Redmi 8A - how to import contact from a VCF file
I don't seem to have the import feature in my Phone app in settings, or in Google contacts.
I have watched the video at: https://www.techbone.net/xiaomi/user-manual/import-contacts
And my screen at 0:28/1:33 is missing settings and only has:
All Accounts
Google email account details
Merge and fix
Bin
Labels
Restored from (Old phone details)
+ Create label
Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Hi Mikexx!
This seems to be an error, have you already updated the contacts app?
Also you could try clearing the cache.

Many thanks for looking into this. I have cleared the cache for this App.
The version on the phone is 3.61.1.423948200
It's difficult to check with Google Play which is the most recent version.
If I go to Play store, auto-update is ticked, and there is no option to update.

Hi Mikexx!
Please check if you can uninstall the updates for contacts app.
- Tap on Settings
- Tap on Apps
- Tap on Manage apps
- Choose an app
- Tap on Uninstall updates

Many thanks, I am now back to Version 3.9.2.268513760
And I now have the ability to import contacts.
Why has Google chosen to cripple this feature? Many thanks for your help. I hope others benefit from this experience too.
Hi Mikexx!
We're glad we could help you, but we can't tell you what Google is doing or deciding in the background.
We hope that it stays like this and that you don't have any further problems with the contacts app.
Best regards,
Denny
