Notes, links and more on a contact

LINE, Instagram, a website, a nickname — details your phone has no space for.

Open a contact and look for “Links”. Choose a type such as LINE, WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Telegram, Viber, WeChat, KakaoTalk, X, LinkedIn, YouTube, Signal, Website or Nickname, or choose “Other” and name it.

Then enter the id, the link or the note. An id under LINE opens LINE when tapped. “ada” under Instagram opens instagram.com/ada. A plain note is stored as text.

Buckets keeps them when it reads your phone again.

Important dates — a birthday, an anniversary, the day you met — are shared both ways with the phone’s contact: the phone’s dates appear on the card, and a date added or changed in Buckets is written to the phone. A birthday on a card and one on the calendar are the same date: adding a birthday to a contact asks whether to add it to the calendar too, contacts whose birthday is not on the calendar wait in To File with Add to calendar, and a calendar birthday that names nobody can be given to a contact or made into a New contact. Each type of date has its own mark; add your own types, with a mark, under Maintain lists.

To change a contact’s name, phone or address, tap “Edit on the phone”. This opens the phone’s contact screen. Changes are saved on the phone and appear in Buckets when you return. Tap “+ New” at the top of Contacts to add a contact.

A contact address has “Copy the address” and “Open in maps” options. Copy places it on the clipboard. Open in maps sends it to the phone’s map app.

A nickname is searchable. Add “Em” under Nickname and searching “Em” finds Emily J., the associated photos and events.
