Without contact sync with phone address book I'm forced to main two contact lists and keep them sync manually!

However, to maintain some privacy, the user should choose which contact details to share (just name and phone number, maybe)

Just wanted to highlight that this feature is important for a lot of users out there: https://www.reddit.com/r/ProtonMail/comments/teuat4/how_to_use_proton_contacts_on_android_phone/

Ability to NOT sync contacts with Address Book. I do not want my Proton Contacts to feed into the Contacts in my Phone Contacts which would essentially make everyone's Contacts public information to EVERY data harvesting app and feed the Google/Apple/Facebook anti-priivacy BEAST. So apps require access to Contacts to work and i dont want my Contacts being sucked into the ether either DIRECTLY (myself) or INDIRECTLY through being in SOMEONE ELSE's CONTACTS.

So opening up Proton Contacts to this PERVERSION is a prima facie ridiculous idea degrading the privacy of ALL proton users.

INSTEAD, It makes more sense for Proton Contacts to remain PRIVATE and operate in parallel with information available ONLY to User without any spill over into the world of the DATA HOARDERS.

As a Matter in fact, each USER should be able to control propagation of own CONTACT details in other Proton Contacts lists to disallow mindless propagation of own contact details via the poor logic and decisions of other ignorant Proton Users.

This will be show stopper for me when it's time for me to renew. No sync with address book then no renewing.

A better spell checker would be nice too but not essential.

Any day now...

Created in 2017, planned since 2019, we are in 2023 and this critical feature request is still pending.

- Because I find myself maintaining my contact list into another cloud email (that I dream to dump).
- At contact level, we should be able to set a status "syncable outside Proton". This cornerstone status would bring the balance between privacy for some contacts and usability for the others.

I'm leaving Protonmail right now for this reason. I want to manage my contacts properly, not get an entire list without favorites, in a small sidebar. Proton can expect me back as a customer only once they give a proper interface for contact management à la Outlook and Google Contacts.

We need this.

Proton, you're great but it's really hard to understand why this feature hasn't been one of the main priorities? It is ranked very high here and of all these Uservoice fora, this seems like a key strategic issue. It's not just about improving the user experience, this is a multiple-times-per-day need that actively prevents people from fully switching to your services. It maybe doesn't seem as big as some of the other apps that have been launched since this was planned but in some ways it's a more important step to accomplish.

New to Proton and would really like to see this feature added.

This is the only feature holding me up within the gmail environment.
A good compromise between privacy and usability would be some sync rules / exception management on contact level or field level.

Hello. I am also a paying customer of ProtonMail. I would very much like to see this feature added above all else. I know that these contacts will not be private, but it will help us get away from Google. Thank you.

I will switch to Proton Mail if this feature is implemented in the near future.

This has to be one of the top priority's. its the only reason I cannot remove my google accounts from my iphone. And dont think there is away to copy my contacts from google to iphone

This has been "planned" since January 10, 2019? It's 2023!

How is it that no rep from Proton takes time to respond to any of these hundreds of comments / thousands of votes? Sad.

I actually just bought Proton Unlimited and kind of expected that I'd be able to migrate my mail, calendars and contacts completely to proton. I'm quite disappointed that this feature is not implemented. I'd be happy with a one-way sync from Proton to iCloud or iPhone memory, though I'd prefer if I could continue using the native app to edit contacts as well.

Please make this happen!
