[Hidden-tech] * * * Archiving contact list from Android phone * * *

[Stephen Michel]

Practically, this advice is fine.

Technically, contacts are not a part Gmail; they are stored by the 
Android system itself, and other apps can access them (if you grant 
them permission). The Gmail app gets your contacts from the Android 
system and sync them to your Google/Gmail account (and vice versa), but 
it's not the only app that can do this. For example, I use the [Dav5x 
app] to back up / synchronize my contacts to a [Nextcloud] server that 
I run.

[Dav5x app]: https://f-droid.org/packages/at.bitfire.davdroid/
[Nextcloud]: https://nextcloud.com/
