  • Access to Contacts

    There are too many points of access to contacts just to use an iPhone. Glad Apple decided to be more transparent, IF you know where to look. No wonder the government wants to cut the lines underground for 2/3/4G going forward. Why is privacy so public?! I’d rather never save any contacts. The New World Order only works for conglomerates that already allow the individual to be stalked, harassed, and everything identifiable to be mimicked and stolen… Waiting to see how they like it when it happens to them. #causeandaffect #5Gisdeath to humanity and living.
  • Needed Updates

    Overall I’m impressed with the iPhone contacts app! It’s easy to put in contacts, they’re sorted properly, you can add information such as birthdays or workplaces, which is all great and sorted by each contact.

    The one thing that I would request (and has been requested by many others) is an update to contacts where there is a place to insert pronouns.

    We are in a world where everyone sharing their pronouns regardless of what gender they identify as is becoming a regular thing, and there is no reason why people should feel uncomfortable having to express their pronouns out of the blue just because they aren’t cisgender.

    This is an update that should have gone out long ago, when it first reached mass America that asking for pronouns and introducing yourself with pronouns needed to become a regular thing.
  • Stand-in for Basic Features?

    Great app to manage all your contacts. The convenient features at the top that allow me to Call, Message, Video chat, e-mail, and Apple Pay are one of my favorite things about this. I am however confused about two other things

    1. The Groups tab
    We can choose what groups to show in the main list. This is literally the only thing about this feature. We can’t customize each group. No custom names, no custom ringtones, no ability to ADD CONTACTS whether in this tab or when we edit a contact. HOW IS THIS NOT IMPLEMENTED? Instead of having set song play whenever a contact from Group A calls, I have to go through each contact in that group and individually set the same tone. That way, I would know what type of contact is calling just by the tone

    2. Related Names
    I’m still confused about this. We can choose from an extensive list of relationships for our contact, that’s great. So when we tap “Done”, we can view it on their card. I would like it so that it links the contacts. That way if I tap on Aunt Jenny’s profile and see that Cousin Matt has been added as her son, I can tap on his name to pull up his contact card, instead of having to go back to the main list and frantically search for him
  • Group filter

    You with groups you can either add a group change your group or delete a group. This is very handy and putting them into different categories and then looking at them later but the filter. But recently I cannot get in and work with the groups only have to do with what was there so I can’t add, change them or delete them right now
  • Grouping and Classifications

    It would be nice to be able to put ppl in groups and classifications. For example, putting people in as family, friends, work, projects, etc. I don’t know why this feature hasn’t been added.

    I would like to classify my relationship to people without having to connect them to someone. For example, siblings, cousins, friends, etc.

    Also, the ability to send group messages by the same groups.
  • How to reinstall??

    Deleted the contacts app a while ago, but the functionality remained. I’m trying to reinstall the app so I can access it from the Home Screen, but the only option on the App Store is “open” rather than “get” or download.
  • Note field in contacts loose newlines

    I am a lover of all things Apple/Mac/iPhone but..... this one thing really torques me off..... For some reason the format of the content of note field looses new line characters and they get replaced by "\N" which really makes the note unreadable if you have anything significant there. I use the note field a lot and it literally hurts to see all my formatting ruined! Help please!
  • Not Really a Good App

    So before the ISO 15 update you can do a lot more with your contacts and you can also display the photos that were related to the contacts, now however you don’t have options for groups for work and it doesn’t display contact photos in the contact list. I feel like this app is a downgrade at this point too bad Apple won’t do anything to fix it.
  • Glitches when adding or editing info

    Every time I try to edit information, it glitches multiple times before it will save the information I have just entered. This is pretty annoying, especially when you are trying to quickly write down someone’s info. However, the concept is a good one
  • So buggy.

    Often opening this app on a Mac finds it out of sync.

    Often the Mac app totally freezes while it pulls iCloud data. To reproduce click “Edit” on a contact, change one item and then click to another and try to edit. The app will beachball briefly.

    Why? Contacts can be a text file! This should be lightning fast and responsive but instead it’s terrible and slow to edit. Please please pay attention to performance of system apps, especially foundational ones that other apps (Mail, Messages) rely on.
