How do I know which version of vCard my android phone "Contacts APP" support?

Question

I am basically creating a simple text file which is named test.vcf with below content as an example:

BEGIN:VCARD
VERSION:3.0
FN:AAA BBB CCC
N:AAA BBB CCC
TEL;TYPE=cell:9876543210
END:VCARD

The above file worked when I Imported in my phone. where as below content did not work.

BEGIN:VCARD
VERSION:4.0
FN:AAA BBB CCC
TEL;TYPE=cell:9876543210
END:VCARD

This is making me question which version of vcf file my android phone's "Contacts APP" supports.

Here is my android phone's "Contacts APP" About section

Contacts
Version 9.3.4.340

If finding the "Contacts APP" that supports the vcf file version is not necessary, then is there anything wrong with the content I used above for VERSION:4.0?

#thisquestionneedsananswer In general and specifically. vcf is a nightmare. Wouldn't you think that the latest standard would be the 'best' most supported standard after so many years? – Ko

Answer 1

I used the following, and it worked:

BEGIN:VCARD
VERSION:4.0
FIRST:Firstname
LAST:Lastname
TEL:[phone]
FN:Firstname Lastname
REV:1644704181779
END:VCARD

Could it be that you need the name by parts? or that something's different with the TYPE property?

I suggest trying multiple combinations, but this particular one worked for me on Android 10, using the "Contacts" app from Google. I hope it helps whoever is looking for it in the future.
