Hi all,
This is my first question here.
I hope that there will be a solution - otherwise I will stop using any skype!
The problem:
I am using skype for years both on phone and PC.
Two weeks ago I realized that I can't call anyone - because when I open contacts on my phone (Sony XPeria XZ3) the only thing I can do is a Skype call.
Once I realized that Skype is "stealing" my contacts I decided to uninstall Skype from my mobile.
And this was a HUGE mistake.
As a result all my contacts where deleted - from my phone address book.
I thought there is no need to panic - since my contacts are kept in gmail too BUT this was not true any more.
Skype have deleted my contacts from google too.
:(((((((((((((((((((((((((
Hundreds of contacts have been lost for ever.
Then I discovered an old csv export of my contacts and imported it in gmail, then all contacts appeared in my phone.
So far, so good.
This worked for few days - and then again Skype noticed I have contacts and took ownership (phone calls not possible, viber started complaining that contacts are missing).
The result - again all contacts were deleted from my phone and gmail.
I see no other solution - then to NOT USE skype on my mobile any more.
I wanted to "unlink" the Skype and Gmail accounts. Looked arround and could not find how to do that. I have not connected them - at least not
I revoked permissions to access Contacts from Skype for Android.
This is my story. I have only 3 contacts in my phone ;(
Any advice is welcome.
Kind Regards,
Annie
