ANDROID store new contact in phone instead of google account?

Question

android 6. i imported contacts from a .VCF, they are all "phone contacts", probably because there was no google account yet. when i try to add a new contact it adds it to the google account. i don't see a way of changing that, other than deleting the GA from the phone, which would make it impossible to install apps. is there? i am not interested in a solution that moves all the contacts to the google account.
