The app will recognize and add contacts' names, titles, photos, emails, weblinks, phone numbers, addresses, social sites, chat services, and text notes to appropriate fields.

For privacy reasons, you can select a preferred search engine, such as DuckDuckGo or any other.

To start, tap the contact's photo, open the "Search the web for...", and select the desired search command. The app will open the browser window with the search result displayed. Tap the found information to transfer it back to Skrol via the iPhone's Share option.

While in the browser, you can also link any page back to contact by selecting the Share option. The app will recognize social sites and add contact IDs to appropriate fields.

Finding photos on the web

Having large and attractive photos of people inside your address book makes it far more personal, attractive, and fun to use. Fortunately, nowadays, you can find good quality recent photos of most people on the web, and we've made it quick and simple.

To start, tap the photo section to reveal photo-related commands, tap the Search icon, and select the "Photos and images" command. The app opens the web search page with the contact's public photos.

To add a photo to the Skrol app, tap down the one you like, select the "Share" command, and tap the Skrol icon to return to the app. If this explanation isn't clear, please watch the Introduction video [Show].

If you can't find a photo on the web, you can add one from your Photos library or take an actual photo of the person the next time you see them. And we'll soon add an option to request a photo and more contact information via email.
