The Contacts area brings together saved address-book entries and people who use Phound. Use it to find someone, start a call or message, keep local notes, or add a new contact.
Find a Contact
- Select Contacts in the left sidebar.
- Enter a name or phone number in Search.
- Use the filter beneath Search when you need to narrow the list.
- Select a result to open the contact profile.
The current desktop filters are:
- All, every available contact type.
- Address book, contacts saved in your address book.
- Phound users, people with a Phound profile.
- Favorites, contacts you marked as favorites.
Add a Contact
- Open Contacts.
- Select the blue + button.
- Add the contact's name.
- Select Add phone number and enter the number.
- Optionally add a photo, social media link, or notes under Add some info.
- Select the checkmark in the upper-right corner to save the contact.
You can add more than one phone-number field when a contact has multiple numbers.
Use a Contact Profile
Available actions depend on the type of contact and your relationship with that person. A profile can provide:
- Call and Message.
- Share contact.
- Edit local notes.
- Add to favorite.
- Block user for an eligible Phound user.
Local notes are for information you want to keep with the contact in your own account. Review the profile before sharing it because shared contact information can include phone numbers and other details.
Address Book Contacts and Phound Users
An Address book contact is saved contact information. A Phound user has a Phound profile and may provide Phound-specific actions or profile information. The same person can appear differently depending on how they are available to your account.
If a person does not appear in Search, clear the current filter and try All. Also check the spelling or search by phone number.
For calling from the desktop app, continue to Use Call History and the Desktop Dialer.
