Contacts shortcuts
Shortcuts for managing your address book in the Contacts app.
Use these shortcuts to insert and update contact cards, scrape data for new contacts, or interact with the people in your address book.
The Contacts app is the default way to sync information from your Address Book across Apple devices.
