Proton Contacts mobile app
Hellove!
Yesterday I used Google Contacts (and/or the default Huawei contacts) app on my Android phone.
Tomorrow, I will use the secure and lovely Proton Contacts app for Android (and possibly iOS - there are probably iOS users who would want this, too).
From this Proton Contacts app, I will also be able to do my regular calls, browse call logs, see favourite contacts and groups for contacts, and utilize a search function for it all.
Please strongly consider making this tomorrow today, Proton Team <3
Thank you!

Hi Proton, thank you for a great product so far!
I would like to see a Proton Contacts app to replace Android apps Dialer and Contacts.
With features like:
- encrypted storage on the device itself (business usage)
- call history
- - optional integration to relevant email threads and vice versa
- pin number option (like in ProtonMail app), with allowance for selected parts of the app without pin:
- - allow dialer
- - allow call history
- - allow selected contacts (or groups) visibleThank you.

EDITED POST:
So the main advantage of contacts in ProtonMail is that it is end-to-end encrypted, whereas, the default contacts in mobiles are not.
The syncing with phone contacts is also a no go, as the contacts gets stored in default phone contact which is not secure (gets synced to cloud like iCloud or Google Cloud). It would defy the whole purpose of encrypted contacts.
Therefore, either making a dedicated ProtonContacts app or making APIs for other programs to connect with ProtonMail's contacts is a better choice. Mainly the dedicated app or API should allow only one-way access. That is, the phone calling or message service will access one-way with the app or API foe incoming/outgoing calls/messages. Those services will neither store the proton contacts in the default contacts nor edit the proton contacts.
