Groups and contacts
ContactGroupQ cannot access my contacts.
Contacts permission is required to manage contact groups. Go to Settings → Privacy & Security → Contacts and make sure ContactGroupQ is set to Allow.
My groups don't appear or are missing.
ContactGroupQ stores groups directly in your Apple Contacts. If groups are not visible, please check your iCloud Contacts settings. Go to Settings → [Your Name] → iCloud and make sure Contacts is turned on. Then reopen the app.
Will my groups sync across devices?
Yes — because ContactGroupQ saves directly into Apple's built-in Contacts, your groups sync automatically via iCloud just like any other contact data, as long as iCloud Contacts is enabled on your devices.
Folders, favorites, and backup
My favorites, folders, and icons don't show up on my other device.
Those three settings sync through your own iCloud, separately from your contacts. Make sure both devices are signed in to the same Apple Account and that Settings → [Your Name] → iCloud → iCloud Drive is on. Syncing can take a moment after the app opens. Note that groups sharing the exact same name can't be told apart on a second device, so give groups distinct names if you want to assign them different icons.
Where are backups stored? Do they move to a new phone?
Backups are files kept inside the app on that one device. They are never uploaded and they don't sync to your other devices, so they disappear if you delete the app. Before switching phones, open a backup and export it as a .vcf file to the Files app or anywhere else you like.
If I restore a backup, will it overwrite my contacts?
No. Restoring only adds. It puts people back into the group, and creates a contact only when it can't find a match for one. Nothing is overwritten and nothing is deleted, and you always get a preview of what will change before it runs.
Pro and subscriptions
What's free, and what needs Pro?
Creating, renaming, and deleting groups, adding and removing members, searching, and sorting are permanently free — along with 2 favorites, 2 folders, and opening or restoring any backup you've made. Pro unlocks unlimited favorites, up to 10 folders, group icons, and creating, auto-creating, and exporting backups.
How do I restore a purchase or cancel my subscription?
Open the app's settings and tap Restore Purchases — it uses the Apple Account you bought with, so there is no login here. To manage or cancel a subscription, go to Settings → Apple Account → Subscriptions on your device.
What happens to my data when the subscription ends?
Nothing is deleted or locked. Your folders, favorites, icons, and backups all stay where they are, and you can keep opening and restoring backups. Only adding beyond the free limits — a third favorite or folder, a new icon, a new backup — asks for Pro again.
Privacy and data
How do I delete app data?
To remove everything, delete the groups from within the app or from the Contacts app, delete your backups from the backup list, then remove ContactGroupQ from your device. Deleting the app also removes its backups and settings from that device. Nothing is stored on our servers — we don't run any.
