Proton Contacts app (lemmy.ml)

I am on a quest to substitute my phone default apps with something more privacy and security oriented ones. One of such apps I plan to substitute is the "Contacts" one, and I see no Proton app exists solely for this purpose.

I know I can see my contacts details within the email app, but it seems not to be the way it should be, as it adds clicks for the contacts to be shown, where a single click on an specific contacts app is way more useable ant intuitive.

Are plans to make such app on the roadmap?

Bottom of This page says syncing contacts is coming, but it has said that for a long time.

I have a self hosted Nextcloud server that I sync my contacts with. Not sure if that option is in your wheelhouse but its out there

Yeah it's been alluded to several times in several places, but no such luck yet. I dunno why, this seems like it should be super easy...it's obviously already built into the mail app, all they need is a dedicated frontend for it and integration into the Android system.

Yeah there's a post on their feedback forum that has said this is in development for years. Every so often I go back and leave a comment like "it's 2024, where is this?". Guess I can go leave one for 2025 now

They will release some other service nobody asked before they will fix the contacts situation....

This has been one of the most requested features for years

Thank for all your comments, it is now clear that I need to look elsewhere to work around this requirement. And push for a release of this contact sync feat.

I have been curious about this. I do hope they add it.
