As the title says, I'm trying to import contacts via a .vcf file, but I get the 'Couldn't import .vcf file' error message. Does anyone know how to fix this, or a workaround?

Try to import the .vcf into your google contacts directly on the web. Maybe that will fix it. If not then probably the .vcf is corrupted.

I'm aware of the Google method, but I'm trying to avoid it. Interestingly, the .vcf imports perfectly into my Huawei P10 Lite, running Android 7.0.

I found this thread in the meantime, but there were no conclusive solutions.

EDIT: After more tinkering, I managed to transfer contacts properly. The file indeed seemed to have been converted badly (I previously converted it from .csv), or corrupt. The mods may close this thread or mark is as resolved.

For urgent solution:

-Backup your contacts from Huawei by Super backup App ( check the image below ).
-Then copy "smscontactsBackup" file from your device (Huawei P10 lite) to your pc.
-Then copy it to your redmi 9 ( you can use Share me or any share files if you don't have pc).
-Install the same app on it after that restore your contacts from it.
