In this chapter, you see how to use the Contacts app built into macOS to store, manipulate, and use your contacts’ information. You start by adding new contacts manually; then you move on to importing contacts from other contact-management apps and services, organizing your contacts in both conventional lists and self-updating smart lists, and setting your contact information to sync itself automatically through iCloud or another service.

Toward the end of the chapter, I explore how to make audio and video calls with Apple’s FaceTime communications technology and how to use macOS’s innovative SharePlay feature to enjoy media — TV shows, videos, songs, and more — with the other participants in your FaceTime calls.
