  • This is not a feature request (existing functionality does not work, not missing functionality).
    I will request features on forum or via support.
  • I've searched and did not find a similar issue.

Bug in mobile app

Describe the bug
I wanted to try the new "contact syncing feature" that was presented in a blog post, I activated the setting, but contacts are not syncing.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to tuta android app 'settings'
  2. Click on 'contacts'
  3. Enable "contact synchronization"
  4. Tuta now has an "account" in android seetings
  5. The contacts do not sync. It says "synchronization is disabled for all element" (with no possibility to enable anything)
  6. Clicking on the "account sync", it's blank, there is no element to sync

Expected behavior
The contacts should sync.

Smartphone (please complete the following information):

  • Device: Motorola moto G 5G (kiev)
  • OS: Android 11 (stock version)
  • Version: Tuta 3.122.4, fdroid (also uninstalled and reinstalled on the play store: same behaviour)

Additional context
"Revolutionary" plan

I will be happy to provide more context if needed, please tell me what you need.

Test notes

Test on an Android device with Fossify Contacts installed. Turn contact synchronization off if it is already on.

  • After turning on contact synchronization, the contacts from the tuta account appear in Fossify Contacts.
  • After turning off contact synchronization, the contacts from the tuta account disappear in Fossify Contacts.
  • Turn contact synchronization back on
  • Creating a new contact in Fossify Contacts causes the same contact to appear in Tuta Mail.
  • Creating a new contact in Tuta Mail causes the same contact to appear in Fossify Contacts.
  • Editing a contact in Fossify Contacts causes the same contact to change in Tuta Mail.
  • Editing a contact in Tuta Mail causes the same contact to change in Fossify Contacts.
  • Editing multiple contacts in Fossify Contacts causes the same contacts to change in Tuta Mail.
  • Editing multiple contacts in Tuta Mail causes the same contacts to change in Fossify Contacts.
  • Deleting a contact in Fossify Contacts causes the same contact to disappear in Tuta Mail.
  • Deleting a contact in Tuta Mail causes the same contact to disappear in Fossify Contacts.

HI
We do not use Android's Sync Adapter, currently we just sync upon login. We have to add an account to save contacts to our own storage.

Hi,

Thanks for your answer.

I see the issue was closed but the bug remains: the contacts created in the tuta app are not showing in the phone contact list.

Since the contacts were not syncing, I was looking around and found it odd no 'sync element' was showing in the Android Sync settings.

I thought it was probably not the expected behaviour, and maybe an indication of where the bug was stemming from, but since it's expected: what do you think could be the cause for the tuta contacts not showing in the phone contact app, then?

If it wasn't clear, the article on the tuta blog describes the expected behaviour "creating a contact in your Tuta account will automatically sync to your device contacts".
However, creating a contact in the tuta app, even though "contacts synchronization" is enabled, does absolutely nothing; the newly created contact is still only available in the tuta app, not phone contact app

Hey, sorry for misunderstanding.
When tuta contacts are synced you should see a new account in your contacts app (the same one you've found in setting). Do you see it there? can you filter to show contacts for that account?
Apologies if you already checked that.

This is not an isolated issue, I unfortunately have the same problem.

Issue: Contact synchronisation is activated in Tuta android app, yet contacts are not appearing in my phone's contacts app.

Specifically, I have tried viewing contacts in both my OS default contacts app (Google Contacts) and in an F-Droid downloaded contacts app called 'Fossify Contacts'. Neither has any contacts from Tuta appearing.

Device: Oppo A54 5G
Android OS: ColorOS 13.0 (Android 13)
Tuta Version: 218.240219.0 (F-Droid Version)

Currently I'm on the free plan (moving to revolutionary plan soon when my current custom domain email hosting package with another provider ends - I will update if anything changes)

Hi,

I'm also using fossify Phone and Contacts, and Tuta is not showing as synced account in the filter list.

The default Google Contacts app that came with the device was disabled, but I reenabled it temporarily to see what was happening. And, there, in my case, Tuta contacts actually do show up.

I found that surprising and digged a little in the direction of fossify. It appears that it has open issues related to synced contact account not showing (the issue is accounted for since "Simple Contacts" Fossify was forked from). So, maybe the issue is on Fossify's side?
FossifyOrg/Phone#28

But then again, @SteamPumkin just mentionned having the issue with the default Google app ⬆️

@dorianve you're absolutely right.

I thought they weren't showing in Google Contacts but I must have not checked properly/not realised it was merging my Google and Tuta duplicate contacts. I've just re-enabled my Google Contacts app and checked and Tuta contacts are showing there. Good find!

This issue must in fact be with the Fossify Contacts/Phone/Messages apps, please disregard.

We are writing "raw contacts" to Android to a separate account from Google. Android is designed to merge raw contacts from different sources into a user-visible "contact".

If you want to see only tuta info you should filter by an account in your contacts app.

Hi,
I have exactly the same problem with /e/ OS (Android 12) on my GS290 and tuta app 235.240712.0.

The app add a Tuta account in Android settings, but it doesn't synchronize and there is no possibilty to activate it.

Edit: same thing with GrapheneOS on Pixel 6a

Hi, we plan to look into this issue soon, it looks like some contacts apps don't let you save to Tuta account but some do (like Google Contacts) and we need to investigate what is missing

Certain contact apps require the account to be syncable.
In order to do this, we implement a stubbed sync service
and adapter which does nothing and ask Android not to
call it. Preexisting installations of the app will need
to turn contact synchronization off and on again to
receive this fix.
Closes #6568.

This still doesn't work on Grapheneos. (With the fixed version released today)

Everything is the same as was reported originally. (Only 1 way sync tuta>contacts works).

Logging in, out, uninstalling/reinstalling the app... It doesn't work.

Tuta has all of the authorizations, including contacts, enabled.

Please reopen this issue.

Re-enabling sync should be enough for e.g. Fossify contacts to see the app as a valid destination. What app are you testing it with?

It works with the Fossify contacts.

But not with the Grapheneos default contacts. I also see that the Grapheneos contacts only appears to create the contacts on the device (there is no mention of the tuta account in the contacts app settings, but clicking on the accounts option in the contacts app settings > it opens the system accounts settings and the tuta account is there).

In the Grapheneos contacts app settings, there is an option to select the default account for newly created contacts, but the only option available is "on device".

Like @Mangoes , I too am using GrapheneOS Contacts with Tuta and finding that sync occurs only one-way: from Tuta to Contacts. For example:

  • a new contact created in Tuta will be seen in the GrapheneOS contacts app
  • a new contact created in GrapheneOS contacts app will NOT be seen in the Tuta app

Like @Mangoes , I also find that the GrapheneOS Contacts app allows me to choose which account to save a new contact to, but it shows no option for Tuta. This happens even though Tuta shows as one of my accounts under Phone Settings > Passwords, passkeys and autofill > Accounts for [user]

Tried the latest version, disabled and reenabled sync, but Tuta doesn't appear as an option for saving contacts in neither Samsung Contacts or Fossify contacts. In Samsung contacts, Tuta contacts appear uneditable but show their source. Fossify instead attributes them to whatever messaging app they have, my tuta account only appears as a source if the contact doesn't use any messaging app, in which case when tapping on the source, it displays the usual list without Tuta (as in, no option is actually marked since it recognizes it being in Tuta)

@charlag Why is this bug still marked as closed?

Or should we open a new issue?

I would suggest asking GrapheneOS devs what heuristics they use for showing contact sync providers. It could be that there's something also wrong on our side but it would need some investigation and if there's something to fix on our side I would open another issue.

GrapheneOS uses the standard AOSP Contacts app with very few changes beyond adding support for our Contact Scopes feature, dark mode and vCard v4. We plan to overhaul the appearance of the user interface with Material You soon but we haven't needed to change anything under the hood beyond Contact Scopes support. We didn't change anything about how it handles additional providers and it should work fine. It definitely works with sandboxed Google Play which we've tested and a few other providers.

I did some digging into AOSP and if I understand it right then it looks for certain properties in the manifest:
https://android.googlesource.com/platform/packages/apps/Contacts/+/refs/heads/main/src/com/android/contacts/model/account/ExternalAccountType.java#368

which is further confirmed by this SO answer:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/33788621/1923879

so I think we need to experiment with AOSP app or a fork of such and declaring more things in the manifest.

I observe exactly the same situation using Google Contacts on two Samsung devices (a smartphone and a tablet) both running Android 14 One UI 6.1.
Tuta is not listed when adding a contact on Google Contacts. Tuta account on settings is deactivated for syncing.
Removed and reinstalled the app several times as well turned the contacts sync off/on - nothing helps.

@marcosdiasalves I wanted to write that we never had a problem with Google Contacts but I could not actually get it to work now. We will look into that.

I updated to the latest version on Android 13 OneUI 5.1 and it didn't seem to be fixed. The contacts app didn't recognize the contacts as saved in a Tuta account and didn't offer Tuta as a place to save contacts to when creating a new one. Do we have to disable and re-enable the feature to see changes? If so I can't confirm anything as I ran into a separate issue trying that. #8061

@Elaborendum hi, thank you for the update. We are unsure how to approach this since we don't know how OneUI is deciding which accounts can be used to store contacts.

It looks like this got solved for the AOSP Contacts app so I'm going to unsubscribe from the thread. You can explicitly ping me if anything is needed for GrapheneOS.
