Sync contacts with phone address book
Sync the Protonmail contacts with the phone address book (contacts app) and vice versa.

When is this planned to be released? The lack of this feature is almost a deal‑breaker for moving to Proton.

I have migrated from M365 to Proton. Due to this feature not being available I will need to look for an alternative product. I hope this feature becomes available in the near future.

Proton Mail without synced contacts that can be leveraged by the rest of the device makes the Mail app and a switch to Proton for my everyday use, a hard sell.
This forces me to retain my contacts in Google (to be leveraged by other apps on the device) as the 2-way/synced "source of truth" for all my devices and their apps, but do a regular manual sync/override of Proton contacts, and prevents any Contact update/management directly in Proton.
For years, I've had one single synced source of truth for my contacts, and now I've got to fiddle with a dysfunctional workaround.
I'm dying to move my setup of everything over to Proton and away from Google.
- I can live with "Notes" pending
- I can live with "Tasks" pending
- I can live with "Docs and Sheets" being shaky
- I can live with "Authenticator" not syncing to cloud - and keep using Google for Auth until it isBut Contacts is a major gap to close the loop for the Mail and Calendar workflow.

Please prioritise this.

This has been "planned" for over 7 years now. I finally gave up on it and signed up for EteSync (end to end encrypted contact account that syncs with default Samsung contact app). It's a little bit wonky if you have more than one person using it... better to create a free guest account linked to yours for your significant other than to try to log into the same account on two devices, but it works well enough and I don't have to give my contacts over to Microsoft or Google. I wish Proton would follow up on this and push it out though. Big Tech companies having your entire contact list and all data therein is a pretty huge violation of privacy!

The longest joke of an upcoming feature?
Really sad this is still planned after so many years and not prioritized. -

Just dropping by for my annual reminder about about what year it currently is and when you marked this feature as planned. It is not 2026. it has been 7 years since you've supposedly planned this feature. To put this into context, we didn't know what the word "covid" meant when you marked this as planned

Am I right: is this the 10 year anniversary for this requirement and is it planned since 2019 ?? It is still the obstacle to get rid of the google services !

PLEASE PRIORITISE THIS!
This function should be your higest and only priority right now.
Contacts are something you want to protect and you will not be able to swich to Proton without having that funtionality. It is as important as Calendar and email.Postpone the Sheet development or something else until the bascic functionality is in place. Thanks!
yes, I am already a paying customer.

I need this functionality. They have promised this for long but i haven't seen a usable contacts app until yet in the scene.

I deeply wanted to switch from MS to Proton, due to the common known reasons.
Unfortunately, in its current state, the product is not usable for me on a mobile phone.
As a result and lack of this feature (And adding new Contacts on my phone to Proton Contacts, which are somewhere hidden down in the Mail app ;-), I am forced to rely on a third-party provider (Like MS) for this basic functionality, even though I am trying to avoid doing so and would prefer to move away from the “big five” providers.
Additionally, I am concerned that this issue may not be receiving sufficient priority (See Roadmap Proton 2025 autumn/winter roadmaps | Proton), despite the fact that several thousand users have requested improvements in this area since 2017!! From a user perspective, contact management and caller identification are essential core features, especially on mobile devices.
Guess have to stay with MS until this feature is available :-(

The way it is now could be working for me. Adding every new contact by hand if you add a new contact. Problem is you forget to add it twice. And suddenly you do not know who is calling, or you lost a contact because you added only in one spot.
For the majority of the people it would not work at all. It is necessary to keep the contacts in sync with you addressbook on the phone.
In case I would migrate from a full microsoft cloud to here, I would nood this.

This is preventing me from using Proton as my primary contact management tool.

Appalling how such a simple and essencial feature is still not part of the Proton ecosystem. The proton team really needs to start implementing these simple features sooner rather than later. I did the whole de-google thing to Proton and I wont hesitate to de-Proton if basic QOL stuff like this isn't implemented.
