Authentication uses MSAL and contact sources come from Entra ID and Exchange.
About
Built for Microsoft 365 teams who still use the phone.
Enterprise Contacts exists because company directories should work everywhere iOS already expects contacts to work.
The idea
The best company directory is the one already built into the phone.
Employees should not have to open a separate app to recognise a colleague calling, find a teammate in Mail, or start a Teams chat. Enterprise Contacts bridges Microsoft 365 and the native iOS Contacts system.
Product principles
Native first, admin-light, privacy-aware.
- Use native iOS surfaces instead of a parallel address book
- Keep contact data on device, encrypted by the operating system
- Configure through Entra ID groups instead of device management
- Make setup realistic for small and mid-sized Microsoft 365 tenants
Technical stance
iOS-native
Contacts are published where iPhone apps already expect to find them.
Admin-light
No MDM profiles, no per-device setup, and no third-party contact server.
