Can Progressive Web Apps access and interact with device contacts or address books?
Yes, Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) can access and interact with device contacts or address books by using the Contact Picker API. This API allows web applications to access the user’s contact information, such as names, phone numbers, and email addresses. However, it is important to note that this feature is only available on certain platforms, notably Android. Additionally, user consent is required for PWAs to access this information, and the user is given a choice to select which contacts to share. The Contact Picker API provides a seamless and secure way for PWAs to interact with device contacts.
