Does anyone have a good solution for keeping mobile contacts up to date? I want a solution that will automatically update contact info, pictures etc. Ideally it could sync with LinkedIn and other social networks.
Weird haven’t thought about this much but don’t believe to have lost any contacts ever, have people on my phone from at least fifteen years ago.
Am bringing this up because am curious how people lose contacts, don’t they live on the SIM card? Only way that comes to mind is losing a phone or similar
Same here - I sync the contacts with google, since it is an android phone. I maintain a "steve-mobile-gmail" account solely for use with my phone, which is distinct from the paid account I actually use for email etc.
Sadly I even have a "Deceased" label, which I add to contacts I know have died, which shows that I keep contacts essentially "forever".
my iPhone does this just fine - and has for at least a decade
every once in a great while...it appends a bunch of duplicate entries for someone (observationally, it's only when they've made a change on one of the social networks I used to sync via)
