How can I change the default account?

If you only want to use specific contacts from Facebook or Google for example you can change the default account in the iOS settings. Just go to "Mail, Contacts, Calender" and change the default account. This will affect the groups, too.

F.A.Q.

Why are my Facebook contacts displayed twice?

By tapping "Refresh Facebook contacts" in the iOS options a clone of the existing Facebook contact will be created by iOS (because of read only access). This is managed by iOS and not by Contaqs but we're working on a update to link the modified Facebook contact to the existing one.

F.A.Q.

How can I add a contact to the Smart Lists "Family" and "Friends"?

The Smart Lists "Family" and "Friends & Colleagues" will be filled automatically from assigned contacts.

First, assign your own contact in the Contaqs options:

Edit this contact: Scroll down and you'll find a similar screen (only if your contact accepts assigned contacts):

Tap on the blue arrow to assign a contact as (for example) "mother". This contact will be displayed in your Smart List "Family". If you want to assign contacts to your "Friend & Colleagues" Smart List just use "friend" as type.
