Do more with Contacts

Adding new contacts is just the start. There’s a great deal more on offer

-

Once you’ve mastered the basics of the Contacts app, there’s plenty more you can do with it. As well as messaging, calling or emailing a contact from within the app, you can share contacts, show their address on a map, or see their birthday in Calendar. Contacts also enables you to print an address label from within the app, or create a PDF for printing later – by combining Contacts with the macOS ‘Save as PDF’ feature print dialog.

When it comes to editing existing contacts, you can add photos or other pictures to their card, and you create custom fields for adding entries like website or social media URLs.

One really useful feature is the ability to add a nickname that you can use with Siri when you want make a call or send a message. So, for example you could add ‘my boss’ as a nickname and then tell Siri ‘Call my boss’. And if you want to use a different ringtone for family members, friends, or anyone else, you can do that in Contacts too.

 ?? ?? Contacts works seamlessly with other stock Mac apps, like Calendar and Maps.
