forever baffled by the list of social sites apple lets you use in someone's contacts

Facebook
Gadu-Gadu
Google Talk
ICQ
Jabber
MSN
QQ
Skype
Yahoo

Not to be confused with Google Chat, Google Messages, or Google Voice.

Not to be confused with Google Meet, Google Hangouts, or Google Duo

Jim Ray 22 Sept

If you can’t handle me at my Gadu-Gadu, you don’t deserve me at my QQ

Kuba Suder 🇵🇱🇺🇦22 Sept

I wonder if I still have my number somewhere…

On iOS it actually seems to look into your installed social apps. 💓

List of social apps to select for contacts on iOS. It lists mu which is circled with a pink heart.

I just wanna put someone’s DID in their contact. Is that so hard??

Urge Person 22 Sept

A time capsule of the mid 2000s. Apple hasn’t had a dev look at the Contacts app since 2009.

Mikey P 22 Sept

Yes but do you have a separate home/work ICQ?

Albertas Agejevas 22 Sept

Like Swagger and OpenAPI, same thing.

Apple uses Jabber internally (used to anyway) and I think they project outwards a little

Where's KakaoTalk and Line? 🤣 They need to review their Contacts feature.

This field is legacy and no one uses it. Nowadays everything is a URL. I removed the field entirely from my business card app because it causes confusion.

Where is AIM?

Gaëtan Chartrer 22 Sept

Come on John it's been what? Since the first iPhone?
