# Importing Contact Information

 

The first thing that probably springs to mind when considering importing data is “*how do I get all of my business contacts and other information from my old system into Daylite”*. There is no denying that importing a Contact’s details is really important, and the last thing you want is to lose any of their information.

You can choose to import existing People or Company data from your Contacts app into Daylite for iOS.

**Importing People and Companies From Your Existing Contacts App**

If you wish to import a People contact record into Daylite for iOS, select **Contacts > People** from the Daylite Sidebar, then tap the **+** button and choose **Import from Contacts App**.
