iOS 18 new Limited Access Contact feature support.

iOS18 has a feature to limit access to contacts. But if users chose it In today’s iOS V5.1 Beta release, we’re excited to announce compatibility with iOS18 Limited Access for Contacts. Requested by members of the 3CX iOS Community, we’re happy to offer this limited access feature whereby you can selectively grant 3CX access to your iOS contacts. Read on for more.

Compatibility with iOS18 Limited Access for Contacts

iOS 18, lets you grant apps like 3CX limited access to your contacts. This means your app can only access specific contacts that you choose rather than your entire contact list. It’s a feature that provides you with more control over your privacy by allowing you to selectively share your contact information with apps.

For example, I have 208 personal iOS device contacts in my phone. I don’t want to share all of them due to privacy issues or indeed any other reason. Before we had to give full access. Now we don’t need to!

Other Improvements

  • New colouring scheme for Business trip and Lunch statuses
