2 years later.... Common guys.

Hi Team - any update on this feature?

I understand the value of containing all data inside the single ProtonMail app for iOS. However if I migrate all my contacts to Proton, I will be unable to make phone calls from the Mobile OS itself (ie. using Siri or the native phone app)

The inability to interact with the contacts from the Mobile OS is a major problem.

Any solutions?

+3 what's even the point of having contacts stored without this

I like this but I would like an option to choose what fields are synced with the phone. Personally all I want synced to my phone address book is the name, phone numbers and the birthday.

This is something I really would like. With this I can stop using etesync.

I see it was planned for January 10, 2019. Is it part of the upcoming Protonmail 4?

The one remaining hurdle for me is syncing Contacts for use on the ProtonMail webapp, which EteSync doesn't help with.

My phone contacts are stored in a DAVx5 address book synced to a self-hosted Nextcloud instance. I can easily send an email from the phone app to any of my phone contacts. But if I shift across to the web ProtonMail, I no longer have my contact details available to me - only the ones I have added/imported manually.

One solution would be for the mobile app, which is already authenticated against the ProtonMail servers, to sync contacts that are optionally in a specified group (eg, "ProtonMail") between my ProtonMail Contacts and my phone contacts.

Another could be to add functionality to Bridge - as well as being an IMAP/SMTP bridge, it could also act as a Card/Cal DAV bridge - which, when the Proton Calendar arrives, would help to sync back to local calendar clients.

Having commented on this in the past, I now believe that this would be a waste of Proton's resources.

This can already be achieved with the excellent EteSync, for both calendar, contacts and tasks.

I'd much rather see integration of ProtonMail contacts with EteSync. Why reinvent the wheel when a perfectly good and open source solution already exists?

This feature would definitely help to get rid of Gmail & Google Contacts all together on my Android device.

Also it would be nice to separate your contacts here on protonmail with groups, then when exporting only the ones you want instead of exporting individually or all of them

It would be Great to have Proton to Have Contacts, Calender & Texts Messaging (texting app that you can also download to windows pc)
* These Features would be Great!
* The Very Odd Thing of Proton Mail is Downloading it from Google Play who Harvest All Data! It is Odd For Security!
Also, Seeing Facebook & Google on Protonmail Pages!
Scary

The comments all seem to concur: provide us the reliable features that Gmail provides, and you'll see a flood of new and upgraded accounts with ProtonMail. As far as I'm concerned, the sooner the better.

Please! I want to dump Google (gmail)!!!

Until this feature is implement you may want to look at EteSync, a vendor neutral encrypted sync solution for contacts, calendar and tasks. While it doesn't solve the syncing of contacts between your phone and the ProtonMail address book, it does make it possible to ditch Google entirely while making your phone contacts available to the ProtonMail app.

damned !... when it will be possible do not hesitate to ring me to add your carddav URL to the ones already configured for CardBook

This would also be a needed for me to remain a customer. I'd be happy to ditch google completely if this were available.

i think there is a huge market for the following :

1. contact sync so we can use them from phone app , whatsupp etc..
2. similar to google keep
3. calendar
4. cloud storage for photos , files etc..
