Friend Recommendations

ContactsManager SDK provides sophisticated recommendation algorithms that help users discover connections within your application while maintaining complete privacy of their contact data.

​

How It Works

The recommendation engine in ContactsManager uses a privacy-focused approach:

1. Local Processing: Recommendations are generated on the device without sharing contact lists
2. Privacy-Preserving Matching: Users are matched through secure cryptographic techniques
3. Contextual Suggestions: Recommendations are based on multiple signals, not just contact presence
4. User Control: Users always have the final say on which recommendations to act upon

​

Key Recommendation Features

• People You May Know: Discover users within your application who might be real-world connections
• Users of Your App: Identify which contacts are already using your application
• Shared Connections: Find users who share mutual connections
• Smart Prioritization: Recommendations are ranked based on relevance and interaction patterns

​

Privacy Protection

Friend recommendations in ContactsManager are fundamentally different from traditional social networks:

• No contact data is uploaded or shared with your servers or ContactsManager’s servers
• Cryptographically secure matching protects users’ privacy
• All sensitive processing happens on the user’s device
• Military-grade encryption secures any data used in the matching process
• The user remains in full control of their data at all times

​

Applications

• Frictionless onboarding with friend discovery
• Building social graphs without requiring contact uploads
• Increasing user engagement through meaningful connections
• Growing your app’s network through trusted referrals
