Switching between books

The illustration below shows Skrol with two address books in the My accounts menu: the iPhone’s own (iCloud account) and one more from Gmail (Google Contacts account). You will use this menu to switch between different address books.

The All contacts command will show both address books in a single list. Skrol doesn't restrict how many address books you can connect simultaneously.

All connected address books remain as functional as the default Contacts app, including integration with Dialer, Messages, FaceTime, WhatsApp, Apple Watch, CarPlay, Siri, and all other compatible apps and devices.
