Contacts App is buggy - this is a long-term issue
When I try to add a new contact, either manually or by clicking on "add to contacts" from another program, contacts lets me type in the name and maybe company, but then "disappears" what I've just typed... UNLESS I can quickly hit "done" and then open the card again and edit it. I have seen other responses suggesting to export and reimport all contacts, but this has been an issue for many years, so if anyone has more detailed technical understanding of the problem, and potential resolutions, please share.
Sometimes, though, even after hitting "DONE" after typing in the name, the new contact does not show up in my contacts list. This has been happenings since I got a new Macbook, running Monterey.
Two questions: 1. How do I fix this? 2. What are alternatives to using Apple's built-in contacts, and can I delete this app if it is not working for me?
