What has shipped in Nexus Contacts, and posts about its features, dated.
What's new
Ask first, then hear their name — 24 October 2026
How Nexus Contacts records a person saying their own name: a notice that asks you to ask them, a split screen they read right way up, and the same buttons on their side as on yours.
Add their business card to the person you just met — 24 October 2026
How Nexus Contacts reads a business card from a person's page, which details it offers, and what you choose before anything is added.
Get in the frame together — 23 October 2026
A selfie of the two of you, your contact card sent from Messages, and a prompt to note what you talked about.
1.2.3 — 6 October 2026
Add someone's business card: scan both sides, review what was read, and keep only what you tick. Nothing reaches your address book until you say so. If a name you typed differs from a contact you already have, Nexus asks after the send. Turning sync off now removes the iCloud copy. A restore checks the counts the backup file carries. The Siri Shortcuts actions are removed.
1.2.2 — 9 September 2026
Record how someone says their name. The camera now says what the photo is for before it opens. One contacts request instead of up to three. Attach an event to someone after you have saved them. The note composer opens with the keyboard up. Sending goes through Messages.
