Contact Transfer requesting permissions
Contact Transfer allows you to copy contacts between iPhone, Android and PC.
In order for the software to do this, it requires permissions to access the content on your Android device.
You should receive a pop up on your Android when a permission is required by the software. If this is the case, tap "Allow" to allow the requested permission and go ahead with the task you were performing.
However, if you don't receive the prompt when Contact Transfer is awaiting the permission, please use the steps above to manually grant permissions.
Take a look at the list below to see what each permission is used for:
- Camera: Access to your camera so that you can scan Contact transfer's QR code and connect via Wi-Fi.
- Contacts: Access your address book to enable you to see and export your contacts.
Only content you have chosen to copy will be copied to your desired location on your PC, Android or iPhone. Content is never shared with any third parties - all functions are completed locally on your computer.
