Contacts needs the ability to Adler coded & key worded TAGS just like the apple Notes and Files apps. We also need the ability to sort , group or search for contacts by such tags. Now the only alternative is adding a note or putting a company name or creating a custom field for each contact.
Imagine meeting a group of people at a networking event exchanging contact info and now they are lost in the mix of 100s or 1000s of contacts on your phone.
I meet new people at events and have to search to find those new contacts without any context if I’m quickly exchanging info especially now with the tap to share features of iOS 17+. Apple please fix this or add these much needed features Apple contacts needs this update searchable tags like notes reminders, files etc. most of the other Apple apps have this.
I feel like this app helps you get really organized because if you just search someone that you’re looking for names then they’re gonna pop up and it’s amazing and it’s really helpful and I really recommend it to anyone who wants to try and be organized or you can never find the people they wanna talk to or call so I feel like it’s just really amazing because before I got this app, I couldn’t find anyone who I wanted to talk to you like any of my friends and then when I got this app because my friends recommended it for me then it holding me a lot with texting everyone and calling everyone and help you get organized when you’re adding people so I feel like it shouldn’t be 3.5 stars I feel like it should be five stars for sure
Here is my experience: I never backed up my contacts on Google and after a software update most of my contacts are gone from both my phone and iCloud.
I contacted the apple support team and they told me that you need to buy apple subscription to fix.
I felt it’s an extortion, they can push whatever updates to anyone and ask money for it.
I learned from hard way. Now I will not backup anything on apple in fact apple has become greedy company that wants to cheat its customers.
I have started using Google one which is free and it can make sure my contacts are not disappear suddenly.
There are so many problems with Contacts that I don’t have the time to write them all here. 📝Let’s just list a few: 🔴Not customizable; you have to use the fields they give you; can’t add, delete or move them. 🔴It duplicates contacts and there’s no built in way to delete them. 🔴The address interface is terrible; you can’t past a full address; instead you have to enter street, city, state and zip all separately. 🔴Once a contact is created, it’s difficult to remove using your phone; I have to use my Mac to delete a contact. 📝You’d think that an app that touches so many other apps would get a lot more attention from Apple to make improvements.
This is just the most burdensome app in the entire Apple platform.
I recommend if you own a Mac don’t install it on your computer. It’s that bad. Every time you try to use your otherwise seamless Apple platform you will get to like pulling up a contact on your computer or typing it in and up the spiral of death. It happens every day. Nothing about owning Apple products aggravates me more. Nothing even comes close. I’m so aggravated with Apple products and this stupid thing aggravates me every day. Every. Day. It doesn’t work in every time you have something to doin contacts it’s a 15 second of adding a contact or changing a phone number or something and it takes minutes of staring at this beach ball.
Fix this. This has to be the lowest hanging fruit and so easy.
It would appear that in one of the latest updates you guys have modified the way you can edit a contact within the phones interface.
I can no longer add a number to my contacts through the phone app and instead have to go to contacts copy and paste the number into there which creates at least two extra steps.
This would including inquiries into a voicemail and not being able to modify a number from the voicemail interface. The “I” button will no longer let you save the contact once you have identified the number. Why, why was this option deleted?
Intuitively everything you’ve done in these latest updates regarding the phone app or the Contacts app is anything but intelligent.
To boot, why is spell check now incorrect all the time and trying to correct words that are spelled correctly with garbage or words, that aren’t even words. This is some new generative AI you’ve tried to unleash based on most of the population, poor spelling techniques. If so, I suggest you just go back to Webster’s dictionary and have it memorize that and start over with the app. F-Minus from where you were just a few months ago again again on spellcheck.
I’m sure you will give me some excuse that the coding was simplified or helps with your queries but again, the change is anything but intelligent.
Please modify and make it more intuitive or how it was in the past. Thanks!
The primary reason we all carry smart phones is to make phone calls. And we all store our phone numbers in a marginal address book. I wish I had the ability to create my own template for address book entries. For example I would make Title a default field in my personal template. I shouldn’t have to add the Job Title field every time I want to add someone to my address book. Similarly, someone who never uses this field shouldn’t have to include it in their default template. I also wish I had the ability to arrange the order of telephone numbers and email addresses. This was an option many IOS versions ago. I miss it. Also, if I look up a contact while I am on a telephone call. I shouldn’t have to re-look up that contact after I hang up. It should still be displayed when I go to my address book.
Now I seen many reviews on this app, some are negative and some are positive. Which is a good and balanced opinions on this on this app with an approximately 3.4 star rating. Now I don’t get the science to this but I am going to break and down for yall how I feel about this app. First all I want to say is the design of the logo of this app. It is alr, it could have been better but it’s solid and plain and simple as well. And when opening the app you see all your contacts in place which is really good. Which is also really good is that fact the contacts are in abc order. Wow!! Brilliant right. This is what I call making ur life easier. This is app is so unique it adds and abc order contacts. You can even add different types of catergories too which is awesome and great of this app. Now I haven’t made different types of catergories for my contacts but maybe will soon. And now for the final part, the quality of this app. Now I heard some people say that hate it or not hate it, I like this type of debate and now what I think of it? Well I got to say it is solid. I don’t get the fact that people hate it but I think it’s good so yea guys that is my opinion on this app and I’ll give this app approximately a 5 star, I mean why are people complaining about this app it is just the contacts app bruh.
Good contact app that can even handle *#;, wait and pause codes in phone numbers. Except it will not link a contact with an extension pause or wait in the number. You can search for part of the number in the phone app, and it will find it, but if you dial, select, or receive a call it will not find/display the stored contact that has an extension number after the ; or ,
I use pictures on every contact. With old contacts a large picture came up and when receiving a call. Now all that is gone and I get gray. They want me to make “posters” for all my contacts. That’s ridiculous. Make so we can also use the old way and offer new way for the little children. This is a work phone and I don’t want cute little drawings or whatever. Please fix. I hate the way the new phone calls look as well. Bad changes. Offer choice for once in your life. It worked for 10 plus years. Nobody asked for this. I appreciate it. Thanks. Please give us option to look old way. New one is ugly and terrible!
Apple, do something to adjust or fix this. Please! Quit making needless changes. The posters are horrible. I’m not 3 years old.
