Currently your Data Node is based on the open sourced Nextcloud software.

Nextcloud supports a number of iOS mobile apps, however the only mandatory installation is the Nextcloud File Application. Other related iOS apps can be used, but without universal support.

Address Book

All the address books can be viewed on Contacts -> Lists. By default, two address books are created automatically:

  1. Accounts, which lists all the session IDs created for all users. These are READ ONLY, so any session ID/contact deleted from this address book, it will re-appear.
  2. Contacts, which allow users to add, edit and delete their contacts and can be synced to other devices.

On iOS devices, some of the names used are different to devices on Android and Nextcloud

android ios nextcloud
first name first name name
surname last name name
title job title title
email email email
company company company
website url website
labels contact groups

Manually added address books from an Android device will also appear here. In the example below addressbook1 is created by DAVx app on an Android device.

addressbook1_on_ios

However, the addressbook1 can not be edited or deleted on iOS, only the contacts inside addressbook1 can be edited or deleted.

Unlike DAVx app on Android, it is not possible to add an address book on CardDAV on iOS and be recognised as an address book on Android. Only the Contacts menu allows a new list to be added. In the example below, the list name addressbook2 and the contact inside it are recognised as two different contacts (not an address book) on Android. On IOS, the contact inside addressbook2 appears in two different address books, in Contacts and addressbook2.

add_list_ios_menu

On Android, the addressbook2 is recognised as Surname of a contact with no other detail. If a phone number is added, it can only be seen on Nextcloud, but not on iOS since addressbook2 is an address book on iOS.

Because addressbook2 is recognised as a contact on Android, when it is deleted on Android, the addressbook2 on iOS is also deleted, however the contacts inside addressbook2 will remain in the Contacts address book.

Shared Address Books

Shared Address Books can only be configured from Nextcloud, however once configured, they are also available on Android and iOS devices and the contacts inside the shared address books can be edited and deleted, if the Read/Write permission is granted.

Category Field

In the test below, the category used is the same, however the category name is different on different devices:

  • Labels on Android
  • Contact groups on Nextcloud
  • Not supported on iOS

category

Title and Organisation Fields

In the test below:
Title: Dr
Company: Citymark

Dr (with capital D) appears exactly on Android and Nextcloud. However, on iOS, each letter is capitalised so it is DR

Citymark (with capital C) appears exactly on Android and Nextcloud. However, on iOS, each letter is capitalised so it is CITYMARK
