Features & Capabilities

Private Contacts is an innovative Android app designed to enhance your contact privacy by allowing you to separate sensitive contacts from those shared with other applications. Unlike the default Android contact system which offers an all-or-nothing access to your entire contact list, Private Contacts lets you define which contacts remain private — such as your doctor or therapist — shielding them from apps like WhatsApp or Instagram.

This open-source, client-only app ensures no data is sent to external servers, offering complete data protection. It also features a caller-ID function that notifies you when a private contact calls, a capability not achievable through standard phone apps due to strict data separation. Future updates aim to expand standard contact management functionalities, making Private Contacts a comprehensive, privacy-focused alternative to your typical contact app.

User Reviews

Users appreciate Private Contacts for its ability to maintain a separate, private contacts list distinct from the main phone directory, which helps keep important or infrequently contacted numbers organized and private. It provides useful features like direct WhatsApp chat and VCF export, praised for its clean interface. However, users commonly desire improvements such as multiple contact lists for better categorization, manual contact ordering, enhanced import functions, and fixing the inability to paste numbers, indicating room for further development.

Pros

Provides a separate, private address book for contacts distinct from the main phone contacts
Helps to hide secret or private numbers from public access
Useful for managing important or occasionally contacted persons without cluttering the main contacts list
Simple and good user interface with pleasant design
Allows direct WhatsApp chat and VCF export functionalities

Cons

Lack of ability to create multiple separate contact lists for better organization
No feature to manually reorder contacts in the list
Missing some Google contacts functionalities such as easy import from VCF files
Cannot paste numbers directly into the app

Recent reviews

So far, exactly what I needed. A 'private' address book/contacts list, completely separate from the rest of my phone. Allows me to manage contacts that I may only need to contact once a year and so unclutter my main account. Would like the ability for multiple, separate contact lists for ease of organizing e.g. family, work, businesses.
