4.2.4 Enhanced Address Book

Contacts list

 

The contacts which are RCS users have the Presence icon displayed on their avatars. Below the name of a contact its status description is displayed.

The avatars shown on the list are other users profile pictures and are downloaded from the RCS platform. If a user does not have a profile picture the default picture will be shown.

The filters are on the left hand side:

  • All contacts
  • RCS contacts only
  • Favorites

The purpose of the RCS icon is to provide shortcuts to RCS main features. When you click on it three icons will appear representing video call, audio call and chat.

When you click anywhere else on a contact’s row the Contact details view will appear.
