As many other people here, I am in the Plus user plan, and using a smartphone without that feature is quite annoying ... Any idea of a timing of implementation? Thank you !

I am a Plus user and the lack of this feature really bothers me, as I have to move all my contacts from my phone manually when I buy a new phone. Please introduce this feature. Thanks!

This is a duplicate feature request of https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/284483-protonmail/suggestions/7158338-carddav-server-for-contacts-synching-contacts
Protonmail Admin - could you merge these two requests please?

Any update on the timeline? As well, I think there should be a setting to enable or disable this sync (in case people don't want their phone to have access).

This (+ a calendar with sync) is holding me back from moving over from Google to a paid ProtonMail account. This is a really basic feature, please provide.

This is a key functionality to be able to fully use protonmail. It is inconvenient to manage two separate contact lists, one on the phone and the other one in protoncontacts.

I hope this comes soon! I would love to be able to drip iCloud all together to sync my contacts directly with proton.

good idea contacts and calendars need to sync with iOS and Android devices perhaps encrypted in a separate application, or bridged to sync with native contact / calendar applications

I am confused and I must agree with CDFree comment on 2020-02-22. Is this feature already implemented/available?

It will be amazing if this happens and if you can choose what fields are synced to your phone contacts. I would like to keep my email, addresses and notes within ProtonMail but to sync the name and phone number to my phone contacts will be amazing!

Hi Team - any update on this feature?
I understand the value of containing all data inside the single ProtonMail app for iOS. However if I migrate all my contacts to Proton, I will be unable to make phone calls from the Mobile OS itself (ie. using Siri or the native phone app)
The inability to interact with the contacts from the Mobile OS is a major problem.
Any solutions?

I like this but I would like an option to choose what fields are synced with the phone. Personally all I want synced to my phone address book is the name, phone numbers and the birthday.

This is something I really would like. With this I can stop using etesync.

I see it was planned for January 10, 2019. Is it part of the upcoming Protonmail 4?

The one remaining hurdle for me is syncing Contacts for use on the ProtonMail webapp, which EteSync doesn't help with.
My phone contacts are stored in a DAVx5 address book synced to a self-hosted Nextcloud instance. I can easily send an email from the phone app to any of my phone contacts. But if I shift across to the web ProtonMail, I no longer have my contact details available to me - only the ones I have added/imported manually.
One solution would be for the mobile app, which is already authenticated against the ProtonMail servers, to sync contacts that are optionally in a specified group (eg, "ProtonMail") between my ProtonMail Contacts and my phone contacts.
Another could be to add functionality to Bridge - as well as being an IMAP/SMTP bridge, it could also act as a Card/Cal DAV bridge - which, when the Proton Calendar arrives, would help to sync back to local calendar clients.
