No special app, the normal contact synchronization. The whole story started because I wanted to find out why some contacts are not visible to the car radio. Anyhow, I have a hunch on that story that I need to track separately.

I got an updated systemd config from the proposed package update and it looks better now - i.e. there is a message that invites you to configure syncronization instead of a plain grey screen. There is just one cosmetic issue, the button looks misplaced.

Right, I gave up already. Sorry for bothering. Regards, Eduard.
