Stand alone contacts
I would like to have Proton Contacts as my default on our Android phones. I need to open Google contacts to make a call unless I port all my Proton contacts to Google. I'm don't wish to give Google my entire contacts list.

I’ve imported my CONTACTS into PROTON CONTACTS. All contacts were transferred on my Apple Macbook Air Laptop as per instructions but the addresses (street/country info) appear in an unidentified line between POSTAL CODE / CITY and REGION / COUNTRY. When I try to access my contacts thru Proton on my MOBILE DEVICES (iPad, iPhone) the addresses (street/country info) DO NOT appear. I have to select EDIT/CONTINUE ON WEB to see them in that strange location mentioned above. If I re-type the address and put the information in the proper fields it will then appear on my mobile devices. However with over 500 contacts, I do not think it is feasible to accomplish this in my lifetime... not at my age :-).
Also, the location to access CONTACTS on mobile devices - at the end of the FOLDERS and LABELS list - is quite tedious particularly if you have many LABELS and FOLDERS. It would be nice to have a dedicated app like others applications to expedite access... just saying. I read in another post that this has been 9 years waiting for change, REALLY? I was told that the modification is complicated and would take time… but 9 years?
I now use a workaround while waiting. In my Vivaldi browser I made a Speed Dial to the web version of Proton Mail. The Speed Dial can be accessed with my mobile devices. I have full access to all the info in my Contacts (right hand side) and don’t have to scroll all the way down Mail’s folder/flags column to access. The addresses are still in that same bizarre unidentified field but at least all the information is available. 9 years! Hopefully Sam Cooke song will one day ring true : “It’s been a long, a long time coming, but I know a change gon’ come, oh yes it will.”. Fingers crossed! -

This feature was promised years ago and will hopefully be implemented as soon as possible. I don't want to have to maintain my contacts separately on Google and Proton.
How is de-Googling supposed to work if Proton does not offer basic functions? -

This was needed 5 years ago.

I agree with that idea. It is also needed for MacOs and IOs. This is the only thing that ties me with google : the contact list. As I have several email accounts, some professional (non Proton) and other personal (proton) I cannot only use proton mail app and I need to share my contacts with non Proton apps.
A Proton contact app or the ability to share contacts such as it is possible with iCloud is therefore indispensable -

I've been moving away from Google as much as possible, being able to free myself from their contacts would be fantastic.

Agreed. I have no desire to port my Proton Contacts to Google just so that I can use Proton Contacts list on my Android phone. Thank you.

I want to use Proton contacts as my default contacts on Android (and or iOS) just like iCloud and Google. Please please develop this.

I want to leave Google Contacts and be able to have a cloud saved contacts list that I can easily use with iPhone and Android.

it would be good to have this for IOS to replace Apple's offering. If you have a lot of labels (as I do) scrolling down to the bottom of the IOS app to get to contacts is overly time-consuming and a faff.

For me it is not critical that it is a stand alone feature, but better contact management is the main thing missing from the Proton suit. The contacts need to integrate better into the email client, be more flexible, and preferably work as a replacement of keeping contacts on my phone (synced with google, not a fan of that...).

This is my biggest need from Proton. Having to run multiple contacts lists in parallel is not viable. But today Proton needs its own list, and my phone needs its own list.

This is an essential feature.

Hate the idea of giving G my contact's info so unless I know someone's number by heart, I have to look them up in Proton Contacts to make/return a call.

Agree with other people commenting on this suggestion --
I too have a confusing mix of Proton and Google apps that I must switch between on my phone (AND TABLET)
I too want to LEAVE THE GOOGLE UNIVERSE.
Does anyone hear Proton-based system like Android, iOS like I do, calling for us to leave the surveillence, datamining system completely behind? -

iOS here. And yes this is very much needed. I don’t want to share my contacts to Apple. I know Proton Mail has a contact upload option but it is primitive. It also doesn’t allow a mass download after reinstalling iOS.

This would be of benefit on iOS as well.

A contacts app for Android and Windows is an essential part of one's digital life. I currently operat a confusing mix of Google and Proton; clumsy and error prone. And I want to drop Google altogether!

i miss this feature especially because everytime i switch phones i loose the contact pictures :(
would be super cool to be able to sync normal contacts via proton. i have never used the email contact thing in my live. who has email contacts? (except maybe for professional usecases)
