News feeds for 528 public figures and organizations Highlight Access news feeds for over 500 public figures,… feeds
The built-in feed catalog now covers 528 recognized public figures, organizations, and outlets, with associated article thumbnails refreshing automatically rather than on a manual pull-to-refresh.
Profiles Mention When Contacts Share Your Home Profiles mention when a contact shares your home address… contact-management
The mention is generated by comparing a contact's stored address against the user's own saved home address, surfacing a match automatically instead of requiring it to be flagged manually.
Profiles Use Actual Names and Pronouns Contact profiles use their actual name and pronouns in… contact-management
Generated narrative text now pulls the contact's stored first name and pronoun fields at render time, replacing prior placeholder phrasing that defaulted to generic wording when those fields went unused.
Inline preference toggles in contact detail panels Address, links, activity, and culture panels now have… ui
Preferences that previously required opening a separate settings screen — like which address or activity types show — can now be flipped directly inside the address, links, activity, and culture panels.
Profile updates with visual feedback When you add contact information, the biography updates… story
Adding a new field to a contact — a phone number, address, or interest — triggers a brief highlight animation on the biography section so the change is visibly acknowledged instead of silently saved.
News Articles in Media Feed News articles appear in the Media tab feed alongside videos. news
The Media tab, previously limited to video content, now pulls in related news articles from RSS sources so a contact's public coverage and their video content sit in one combined feed.
News Feed collapsible section on entities Browse recent news articles in dedicated panel on contact… feeds
Contact and organization detail screens gain a collapsible panel dedicated to recent news coverage, keeping article browsing contained to that section instead of scattering headlines across the profile.
Contact profiles now include Personalize section New Personalize section lets you customize photos and… avatar-editing
Grouping photo and display-name controls under one dedicated section replaces scattered edit fields, cutting down how far a user has to scroll to restyle how a contact appears.
Reach Contacts Through Their Preferred Messaging App Assign Signal or Viber to a phone number, or Teams and… contacts
Per-number and per-email channel assignments mean the same contact can route a call through Signal while an email address opens Teams, with the correct app launching straight from the card's action buttons.
Message via Discord, LINE, and Slack Send messages to your contacts using Discord, LINE, or… contacts
Discord, LINE, and Slack join the existing messaging-channel list, appearing as selectable options in both the contact card's quick actions and its longer action menu.
Respectful Memorial Profiles Memorial profiles protect dignity by hiding calling and… memorial
Call and message buttons are removed entirely from a deceased contact's card rather than merely grayed out, preventing accidental outreach attempts to a number or address no longer in use.
Browse Social Profiles on Contact Cards Access social profile search results directly from the web… contacts
Search results render as an expandable inline list within the web links section itself, removing the extra tap and screen transition previously needed to review discovered social profiles.
Serene Memorial Screens Memorial contact screens feature a calming water backdrop… memorial
A water-themed backdrop replaces the standard contact screen background specifically for memorial profiles, visually separating remembrance viewing from ordinary contact browsing.
Industries picker with grouping and search Browse industries organized by category with built-in… organization
Selections commit as soon as an entry is tapped, replacing the usual separate confirm step other pickers in the app still use.
Organized Contact Details by Type Contact details organized into expandable sections by type… groups
Sections collapse independently by type (phones, emails, addresses), so a contact with many entries in one category doesn't push unrelated categories out of view.
Message Directly From a Phone Number or Email Quickly send a message directly from a contact's phone or… workflow
The composer opens anchored to that specific phone number or email rather than the contact's primary channel, so replies go out from the exact field that was tapped.
Marking contacts triggers celebration animation Toggle Emergency, Favorite, or Follow-up status for… contact-status
The animation fires only on the toggle action itself, turning a routine status change into a moment of positive feedback rather than a silent checkbox flip.
Home Tab Shows Priority Contacts Home tab displays your most important contacts prominently… home-tab
Contacts marked as favorites, emergency, or otherwise high-priority surface at the top of the Home tab, pushing the rest of the address book into a secondary, scrollable area.
Contact Menu Groups by Scope Contact menu separates contact-specific options from… contact-management
Options tied to the specific contact being viewed sit apart from account-wide preferences like display or sync settings, so the menu no longer mixes the two kinds of controls together.
Contact header collapses to compact bar on scroll Contact header collapses into compact bar with smooth… contact-management
As the profile screen scrolls, the large header shrinks and reflows its elements into a slim bar via an animated transition, keeping name and photo visible without permanently eating screen space.
Address Rows Surface Location, Directions, and Sharing Every address row shows the country flag and local time… addresses
The flag and local time are computed from the address's country and time zone data, and swiping the row reveals Location, Directions, QR, Share, and edit without opening a separate menu.
Built-In Onboarding for List Shortcuts List actions display clear labels, and a first-use… gestures
The teaching animation for a swipe or long-press shortcut fires exactly once per session rather than every time, so new users learn the gesture exists without the reminder becoming an annoyance on repeat visits.
Profiles & Links section unifies all link types Websites, social, audio, and payment links unified in one… social-links
Consolidating websites, social profiles, audio links, and payment handles into a single section removes the need to hunt across several separate fields to find how to reach or pay a contact.
Contact details now display in organized sections Consolidated groupings make it faster to find and edit… contact-view
Grouping related fields, such as all phone numbers together and all addresses together, cuts down the scrolling needed to locate or edit a specific piece of information on a contact's profile.
In Focus Your Profile card guides account setup. When Saropa hasn't matched your contact, a card offers: Log… account
The card only appears while no ownership link exists, then disappears permanently once linked, so returning users never see a setup prompt they've already resolved.
Call, Message, or Set Preferences From Any Phone Number Swipe any phone number for quick call or message options,… phone-numbers
Swipe actions surface immediate call or message shortcuts inline, while long-press opens a separate preference screen for setting a number's default use (mobile, work, preferred) without leaving the contact.
Cleaner Link Previews Web link previews show concise descriptions without… details-display
Trimming preview images down to text-first summaries reduces how much vertical space a single shared link consumes in the contact's timeline or notes.
Contact Detail Sections Expand and Collapse Expand and collapse contact sections like on the home tab. details-display
Reusing the same collapse mechanism as the home tab means a section's open/closed state behaves consistently whether it's viewed on the home screen or inside a contact's detail page.
Hide empty sections, show as needed Empty sections hidden by default for a cleaner view; show… details-display
Hiding sections with no data by default keeps the detail screen shorter for contacts with sparse information, while a settings toggle brings back any section for contacts where it should always show.
Your plan section in Emergency tab Track emergency preparedness at top of Emergency tab. emergency
Placing a summary of emergency readiness at the top of the tab surfaces gaps (missing contacts, incomplete medical info) before scrolling into the individual emergency sections.
Smart Contact Cards Contact cards highlight the best way to reach each person… contact-details
The highlighted contact method is chosen by weighing past call and message history for that specific person, rather than always defaulting to the first number or address on file.
Android app integration for contact fields Saropa appears in Android choosers for phone numbers and… android
Registering with Android's contact-selection intents means Saropa shows up alongside the default dialer and messaging apps whenever another app asks for a phone number or email.
Your digital business card, always up to date
Share your details with anyone — and when you update your number, move house, or change jobs, everyone who has your card gets the update automatically. No reprinting, no mass texts.
Control what you share, every time
Preview exactly what the recipient will see before you send. Share your work email without your personal number. Share your address with family but not colleagues. Every share is a conscious choice, not a data dump.
One update reaches everyone
Changed your number? Moved house? New job title? Update it once in Saropa and everyone connected to you receives the change automatically. No awkward group texts, no outdated entries sitting in other people's phones for months.
Accept only what you want
When someone shares their card with you, you choose what to keep. Their office number? Yes. Their home address? Maybe not. Selective accept means your address book stays clean and intentional.
Know where every detail came from
Every phone number, email, and address in your contacts is tagged with its source — who shared it and when. Six months later, when you see an unfamiliar number, you know exactly how it got there.
Share contacts with a QR code — instant, private, no app needed
Generate a QR code for any contact, phone number, email, location, or Wi-Fi password. The other person scans it with their camera — no Saropa required on their end. Works offline.
More than just a phone number
Saropa QR codes carry full VCard data — name, multiple phone numbers, emails, addresses, organization, and job title. One scan adds a complete contact entry to the recipient's phone, not just a single number they have to label themselves.
No app required on the other end
Any phone camera can read a QR code. The recipient does not need Saropa, does not need to download anything, does not need an account. They point their camera, tap the notification, and the contact is saved.
Wi-Fi, locations, and deep links
QR codes are not limited to contacts. Share your Wi-Fi credentials so guests connect without typing a password. Share a map pin for your office. Generate a link that opens directly to a contact in the app — no searching through menus.
Preview and control before you share
Before generating a QR code, you see exactly what data it contains. Strip your home address from a work share. Remove your personal email from a conference badge. The QR code contains only what you approve.
Common questions about digital business cards
How do I share my digital business card?
Open the contact you want to share and tap the share button. Saropa generates a QR code that the other person scans with any phone camera — no app needed on their side. You can also share via text, email, or any messaging app as a standard vCard file.
Does the recipient need Saropa installed?
No. The QR code and vCard file work with every phone's built-in contacts app. The recipient scans the code or opens the file, and the contact saves directly to their address book — Android, iPhone, or any platform that supports vCard.
Can I choose which details to share?
Yes. Before sharing, you select which fields to include — name, phone, email, address, company, or any combination. Share your work number without your personal one, or send a full card with everything. Each share is a one-time snapshot, not a live link.
Common questions about QR contact sharing
How does QR contact sharing work?
Open any contact in Saropa and tap share to generate a QR code. The other person scans it with their phone camera — no app install required. The contact saves directly to their address book as a standard vCard, compatible with every phone.
Can I share multiple contacts at once?
Yes. Select multiple contacts and share them as a single vCard file via QR code, text, email, or any messaging app. The recipient gets all selected contacts in one import — useful when handing off a client list or sharing family contacts.
Is QR sharing secure?
QR sharing generates a one-time, static code from the contact data you select — it is not a live link, and there is no tracking or analytics embedded. The code contains only the fields you chose to include, and it expires once you close the share screen.
