# Contact Book 📓

The Contact Book lets you privately save and manage known peers inside the app, making it easier to find people and start conversations when needed.

Unlike DMs, contacts are personal and one-way — adding someone to your **Contact Book** does not require their approval and does not automatically create a chat with them. This works similarly to saving a phone number in your phone’s contact app, where you decide who appears in the list.

### What is the Contact Book?

The Contact Book is a private list of users you choose to save for later access.

You can:

* Save users as contacts
* Search and manage your contacts
* Quickly start a DM request from your Contact Book
* Keep contacts synced across linked devices

Your contacts are stored locally on your device to help maintain privacy.

### How to Add a Contact

You can add contacts in several ways:

* Add users directly from the Contact Book screen by searching for a username manually or scanning the profile QR code
* Select any user from the group member list and select '**Add Contact'** on their profile page

### Removing Contacts

Go to **Profile** / **Contacts** to view all saved contacts. From here, you can review and remove any of them.
