Create groups of contacts in Contacts on Mac
You can create groups to organise your contacts, or to work more easily with a set of contacts. For example, if you regularly communicate with certain people — such as a book club or cycling team — you can create a card for each person, then include their cards in a group.

Create a group

The area on the right shows “No Cards” until you add contacts to the group. 
- Select All Contacts in the sidebar, then select the contacts you want to add to the group. - If you use more than one account in Contacts, make sure the contacts you select are in the same account. 
- Drag the contacts to the new group in the sidebar. - If the contacts don’t go into the group, check the group — you can’t add contacts to a Smart Group. 
Another way to create a group is to select contacts in the list, then choose File > New Group From Selection.
If you use more than one account in Contacts, and All Contacts is selected in the sidebar when you create a group, the new group is added to the default account (as specified in Contacts general preferences).
