Contact information plays a central role in CRM, sales and field service applications, social networks, community platforms, and e-commerce shipping. Enabling easy access to a user’s address book contacts can improve the experience for your users and in relevant cases help grow your user base through referrals and invites.
We developed our Native Contacts plugin to add powerful functionality to your app. Need to allow your users to add a client’s phone number to your CRM app? Want to pre-populate the shipping address for a gift purchase hassle-free? How about importing a large number of contacts to send an invite or referral code? The Native Contacts plugin streamlines the process of retrieving contacts from your user’s device in bulk and empowers users to query contacts based on lookup fields like email or phone number. By eliminating the need to manually search for and enter contact details, your users can save time from copying and pasting information and focus on what matters most — building relationships and driving productivity.
Elevate your app's contact management capabilities, boost user satisfaction, and thrive in the competitive landscape with Native Contacts.

As an example, a GMail account must be added to the device and not solely accessed through the GMail app. You can consult Apple’s related documentation here, and find Google’s related documentation here.
