<h1>Using the contacts app<a class="headerlink" href="#using-the-contacts-app" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
<p>The Contacts app is not enabled by default in Nextcloud 13 and needs to
be installed separately from our App Store.</p>
<p>The Nextcloud Contacts app is similar to other mobile contact applications, but
with more functionality. When you first access the Contacts app, a default
address book becomes available.</p>
