contacts stored on device only : multiple duplicate
- /e/ version:e_d2s-user 12 SQ3A.220705.004 eng.root.20230511.195430 dev-keys
- Device model(s): shall be not specific SM-975F/DS
- Developer mode enabled: yes
- Device rooted: no
- Trackers blocker enabled: yes/no?
Summary
don´t if it's due to another contact app installed (simple contacts) (I installed it because it handle contact groups as done by google in it's contact app, which is a must when having too many contacts, /e/os contact app has labels but can't import google contacts groups... toooo bad... and don't know if label will be exported on vcf export....)
I store my contacts ONLY on device storage, no cloud account on device
when I edit a contact, most contacts have duplicated entries.... the content is the same
The problem
not sure about the steps to reproduce... I think this MIGHT be related to installing simple contacts
- on a device with no account, fresh install, create a contact on device storage
- install simple contact and import vcf file extracted from google, with contacts groups
- play some time with both app
- edit a contact, several propositions of the same entry should be proposed
What is the current behavior?
multiple duplicate entries
What is the expected correct behavior?
- a single entry per contact, or at least a way to merge the contacts, unknown fields MUST be preserved when merging to not break other contact app
- support google contacts groups in contact app, to prevent having a user search for a contact app that support it...
