Every time I set up my Google account on the phone, it automatically add Google contacts to my phone contact as well as the phone dialer.

My phone dialer has hundreds of contacts of people that I've ever emailed, communicated, or do business with.

This is extremely annoying, anyway to stop Google from syncing or adding Google contacts to my phone?

Thanks!

You can go to Settings - Accounts - Google and toggle off sync of Contacts, then open Contacts, tap the 3 dot menu and select "Contacts to display" and select as needed...

If you keep your Google contacts organized, you can keep phone contacts in a "Phone" folder in Google Contacts and just show that label, or you can move your email contacts to a different label.

Remember the phone uses Google account as the storage for your contacts, there is no "local" account for contact storage once you have added a Google account to the device.
