This is desperately needed. I love the Proton ecosystem and its rich features. I can't understand why such a basic app is missing. It's super annoying to always open the mail app and in the menu scroll down to the contact button, just to open my contacts. At the end of the day, contact data is top-priority data and it would definitely deserve its own dedicated app.
All that has to be done is to provide an icon that opens up the same contact dialog as the email app. So it could also be a simple widget that is part of the mail app that opens up the dialog.
Please, please, please :-)

you guys announced in your blog this is coming at the end of last year should probably change it to planned

I would like to be able to see my contacts with a single-click, just like I can open the Proton email or Calendar individually in the Windows 10 interface. In addition I would like a similar app on my Android phone which would allow me to directly open my contacts (perhaps with a 4-digit pin for security).

This is absolutely needed ASAP. This is the one thing that is left to create a true replacement ecosystem for the big names. It is so frustrating that I can't have all my contacts saved and have them synced between my phone and my email

Protonmail and calendar are not secure until this is done, because the awkward contacts widget in protonmail still forces me to share my contact list with google. I want to disable my google contacts and be free from google both desktop and mobile. This is the last piece of the proton ecosystem - please make it a priority.

Yes I would very much like an address/phone book app where I can keep various bits of information about my contacts in a secure manner. Stuff like contact details, birthdays, addresses, and misc notes like clothing sizes or food preferences

I'm not a very technical person, so most of the suggestions are somewhat cryptic to me. I wanted to suggest a contacts backup because I don't want to rely on creepy google to store all of my contacts, but if I don't rely on it, the loss of my phone would be pretty devastating. Basically, anything that google or microsoft handles, I would prefer that Proton handles in the most ethical way.

This would be amazing as it is one of the last features missing to move 100% of my items off apple world.

Indeed contact management needs improvement: should work seamlessly with your mobile standard contact apps (like on IOS) or replace it in total with a Proton contact app.
Off course it needs interaction with whatsapp etc.
Another think I would prefer a function to categorize my contacts: like Business or Sport or Friends/Family etc. Labels like in Mail would do the trick.
Thx keep up the good work.

I think it is essential to have an android application with all the contacts and to be able to make phone calls and send messages from Proton.

Definitely appreciated on iOS as well

It'll be brilliant to we have an proper contact application on Android synchronized with proton mail

This is a definite must, keep contacts synced to Proton is a nightmare right now. We need mobile OS sync contacts.

Not to mention, the entirety of contact management on Proton sucks. There doesn't seem to be any thought put into it at all.

Please create a robust, user-friendly, customizable and stable contact manager. Apple's contact manager is truly HORRIBLE. Features would include customizing fields you use all the time, hiding fields that you never use for your contacts, and EASY ways to export, print to labels, etc. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

If I could give this more votes I would. I am desperate for this to be a reality, it's critical for me.

This would be fantastic. Definitely worth implementing if possible. I'd be happy to pay for the value I recieve from it as well

Seamless contact/vcard sync across platforms - from adding a contact to your mobile to it appearing in the autocomplete for emails. This would be incredibly useful as I often get contacts when i'm out with just my mobile - it would save me a lot of headache if there was some way for proton to automatically import them to my drive/account straight away.

I suspect this would also reduce friction for new users, and overall it would significantly improve the user experience.

It's really incredible how bad almost every contacts / address book app is. I know the stock Apple contacts app is pretty tightly coupled to iOS, so I'm sure it's a challenge to build something better that still works as expected within how iOS does things.

There are just so many seemingly basic things that it seems like no other contacts app does properly, e.g.:
- Keeping track of old information for a contact (e.g., past addresses, past phone numbers, defunct email addresses, etc.)
- Allowing for multiple current jobs
- Multiple profile pictures
- Sharing phone numbers or emails between multiple contacts (e.g., landlines, office lines, commercial email addresses)
- Keeping track of key dates for individual contacts (e.g., upcoming events, travel)
- Dedicated contact types for chat bots, 2FA texts, businesses, receipts, etc.
- Public shared non-editable contacts + info for known entities & senders (e.g., businesses, companies, apps/services), just like caller ID or Yelp
- Tighter integration with social media and third-party accounts
- Recent communications with a person (e.g., emails, texts)

I could go on and on.

I would like to see a Contacts app not only on iOS but also on the Mac. Currently it is buried in ProtonMail which makes it really awkward to search for a simple phone number...

Hello, I would like to get a Proton app that works like Google's "Contacts" app. So, an application that can add contacts without having to be connected to the internet. An application with which we can manage our ProtonMail contacts and also our telephone contacts, like on a Google account.
