Control contacts available to android

Sailfish allows to share (or not) the contacts with the android applications. But this is an all or none setup - at least I have not found a way to choose who's shared and who's not.

Ideally there would be an option to choose what is visible to android and what not. Or even control what is visible to each android application

Reason: I don't want to share with whatsapp and the like my whole contact list with all the content but only choose specific contacts.

Or is there a workaround?

workaround is to push these contacts to online sync services and remove locally. only local added contacts are available for android side, so everything you sync from services is not visible.

I'm not using any online sync services. I wonder if jollacontacts could be tricked about , I mean flagging local contacts as 'online synced'. Are online contacts backed up by jolla backups? Can they be mass exported as vcf by the contacts apo?

@coderus, could you please explain in detail how you do this? Thank you.

@megalith contacts synced from google or exchange or dav are not visible for android

@coderus: is it possible to set a contact "as if" synced?
