Question

How can I stop Android auto syncing gmail contacts?

Answer 1

Gmail has its own syncing options -> Go to "Settings" on your phone -> "General" -> "Accounts & Sync". In the top, you can choose "Off" to turn off the auto-sync of Gmail. I hope this helps :)

Answer 2

1. Google+ also has its own syncing options -> Go to "Settings" on your phone -> "General" -> "Accounts" -> "Google" -> "Google+" -> "Auto backup". In the top, you can choose "Off" to turn off the backup of pictures and files to Google+.
2. Go to "Settings" on your phone -> "General" -> "Accounts" -> "Google" -> click your email address in the top. From here, you can uncheck checkboxes on everything you don't want to sync with Google.
