Last updated on May 10th, 2023 at 10:32 am

Different people need different things out of their contact information, so the level of detail that you include for every new contact that you create will be based largely on personal preference. But even if the extent of your usual contact data stops at a phone number, there will occasionally be times where it is beneficial to include additional information, including a physical street address.

You can add address information to an iPhone 5 contact with just a few simple steps, which will provide you with a convenient way to access and use that address information in the future if you ever need directions, or if you need to mail something to that contact.
