Address Book

Manage your Address Book

Your Address Book is the perfect way to save frequently used wallets, friends' Begin IDs, or ADA Handles — so you can send crypto faster and avoid manual errors.

Jamie will show you how to add a new contact in seconds.


📒 Step-by-step: Add a new contact

  1. Select “Address Book”
    Head into Settings and tap Address Book from the menu.

  2. Tap “Add Contact”

  3. Type the name
    Give your contact a name (e.g., “Alice” or “My Exchange Wallet”).

  4. Type their Begin ID or ADA Handle
    Enter the unique Begin ID (e.g. @satoshi) or ADA Handle (e.g. $jane) for the contact.

  5. Tap the suggested match
    If a matching ID is found, it will automatically fill in the wallet address.

  6. Or enter the address manually
    You can skip the ID lookup and just paste or type the address directly.


🗑️ How to remove a contact

Want to clean up your list?

  1. Tap the Trash icon next to the contact you want to delete

✅ Jamie’s Notes

  • All saved contacts are synced locally — they’re private and stored securely on your device.
  • You can edit or delete any contact anytime from the Address Book screen.
  • Begin IDs and ADA Handles make it easier to send without copying long wallet addresses.
