PeopleSync App for Android
The PeopleSync Client app is a free Android CardDAV client for businesses. The app synchronizes address lists and contacts from the messageconcept PeopleSync server software and other CardDAV server implementations.
The contacts will be synchronized to the default contact store on your Android device and will be accessible from the default contacts app and your favorite 3rd party apps.
The app was built for business usage and central administration through the IT staff. In a typical usage scenario the address lists to sync by a certain user are provisioned on server side. The app will always sync all address lists, available on the server. If you need more configuration options, please refer to the free or commercial alternatives from other vendors, such as DAVx⁵.
On iOS, Windows Phone and BlackBerry OS10 devices CardDAV is supported by the native operating systems. The PeopleSync Client covers this gap in Android.

There are four main reasons why the PeopleSync synchronization is not run automatically / as expected:
- vendor-specific (for instance: Huawei, LeTV, One Plus, Oppo, Vivo, Xiaomi) restrictions like Autostart, Start in background or App auto-launch permissions prevent the PeopleSync app from being run, and/or
- vendor-specific (for instance: Samsung) features like Maximum power saving mode have disabled synchronization and reset the sync interval to save power and/or
- the PeopleSync app has not been whitelisted from battery optimization, and/or
- automatic synchronization is disabled (will be shown in the PeopleSync app).
The PeopleSync app is based on DAVx⁵, for more information on this topic see the DAVx⁵ website.
