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!

+1 for this. I am currently in the process of converting over from Google to Proton. The number one limitation I am finding atm is the lack of contacts functionality. Please look at getting this on the roadmap.

This is one of the best ever ideas for Proton ecosystem. At present, contacts are buried in protonmail on Android rendering it pretty low on the usefulness scale, an app with the ability to call out from or text or email directly from the contact would be e-heaven. Please prioritise this. Thank you Proton and keep up all the amazing work your are doing, you are leading the way on everything you do.

One of the most important things:
Google has too much Information about our contacts!I nearly save everything in my contacts:
Favorite song, birthday, number, address.. and so on.This should be a secret.
The contacts app could also be synchronised with Proton Mail. So it's easy to send a mail.
Even from a computer. -

Move the contacts list from Proton Mail to its own app or to Proton Pass.

I agree. I would also like the application to be registered as proper contact provider with Android, Windows, iOS ...

The main problem with the Proton Contacts app is not the Web interface per se but the necessity to synchronise your contacts with your iPhone/Android device, as their native apps won't keep your contacts data encrypted.
To have a smooth transition from my Google Account to Proton, having a way to sync my contacts automatically seems to be a requirement/necessity. Still, I would expect it to keep my data secure, so it also needs a way to sync with my device contacts or integrate with the Phone, SMS and (probably) messaging apps (such as WhatsApp, Telegram or Signal).

Is this feature planned Proton?

Proton Contacts standalone app is so needed. It is currently buried in mail and not convenient for "real-day" access when time is of the essence. Bring the app, please.

I need an IOS contacts app ASAP. Very irksome to have to go through Proton email on an iphone or ipad just to get to a contact. Please…. Pretty please? Also WHEN are we going to see Calendar and Contacts a default choice in iOS settings?

I have upvoted this one! Good idea.
Can we also think about asking Proton for long-term paid plans instead of the short 24 months one. I have created a petition under the below header. If we store all our contacts under Proton, I also want to have control over pricing in the longer term!
LONG TERM Plans - LIFETIME Plans !!!

This, or like in Outlook, the ability to "sync contacts" in the protonmail app to have them appear in Android contacts !!!!!

Yeah this is pretty critical, especially as Proton is clearly trying to make an ecosystem that competes with google. A Contacts app that integrates with Email and with Calendar (for showing birthdays) would be the biggest missing link right now that would make it possibly to fully move off of google and onto proton.

STOP EVERYTHING ELSE and get this done FIRST!

Yes, I have different high-end contacts for different companies. It would be nice to have a vault feature that you could then share with different associates for specific companies. (By having different vaults you can separate those contacts and share only the needed ones.)

Uhh, yes please! I'm daydreaming about Proton Contacts as a standalone solution on a weekly basis. @Proton pretty please!

Hi
I saw a post ( https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/945460-general-ideas/suggestions/43584696-new-protoncontacts-app-as-main-contact-app-on-mobi ) talking about an contact app.
I propose a contact app, but a phone app too. There is some open source phone app, but only Google one reconize spam, location, enterprise name etc. Even when a bakery or a plumber is calling me I see the name of the store on my phone when it's ringing.
So, same thing but without tracker would be welcome :)

I need such an app too; or at least a convenient way to use my Proton contacts in Android, for calling / sending an SMS...
For now my contacts are just getting out of sync, as I cannot quickly use the Proton ones and thus use another contact service.
That's the last important feature for me to get rid of Google Contact (or similar) and to have a consistent communication journey :-) -

Protons services are incredible. But 1 service, that would make it complete is a separate contacts app.
