Do the contacts photos still do that awful "zoom in" thing that messes up your cropping?

 

[1975DCS]

Ok, but would have preferred higher resolution photo's of my contacts... Seems a bit small for todays standards?

 

[The Doctor11]

There's a limit?!
Well I have 51 so there's a little bit of buffer room for me

 

[yaboyac29]

I'm pretty sure if I took my entire friends list and added all our contacts together we wouldn't even get close to 50k

 

[Mike MA]

Are business allowed to use iCloud on a corporate level? Else such huge limits don't make any sense I guess.

 

[apparatchik]

Finally Apple, get your act together FFS.

 

[adamjackson]

"finally..."





but seriously, how many people do you know? I have 1,100 contacts and feel like a hoarder.

 

[HowEver]

The best thing about not putting in all your contacts is not sharing them with apps that need your contacts, who can see your status etc.

 

[TMRJIJ]

I stop at 475 contacts. Who knows that many people anyway?

 

[HiRez]

It's so Tim Cook can now have a contact for each of Apple's lawyers.

 

[ConnYoungy]

Thank god! I can finally stop deleting someone every time I need to add someone new!

50,000 contacts. Yay?

I originally glanced at the title and thought this was Apple Raises iCloud Match Limit to 50,000. Now that would actually be worth a mention. This? meh
