Every time someone exchanges contact information with you through Wave, their details are saved to your contacts. The Contacts tab is your personal CRM for managing all your networking connections.

## Viewing Your Contacts

Navigate to the **Contacts** tab in your Wave dashboard to see everyone who has shared their information with you. Each contact entry includes:

* Name and contact details they shared
* Date and time of the exchange
* Tags you've applied
* Notes you've added

## Searching Contacts

Use the search bar to quickly find contacts by name, company, email, or any other field. You can also filter contacts by:

* **Tags**: Filter by custom tags you've created
* **Date**: Find contacts from specific time periods
* **Source**: See where the exchange happened (NFC, QR code, etc.)

## Editing Contact Details

You can update a contact's information at any time:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Select a contact">
    Click on the contact you want to edit.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Update their information">
    Modify any field: name, email, phone, company, or notes.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save changes">
    Your updates are saved and synced across your account.

</Steps>

## Saving Contacts to Your Device

You can export individual contacts directly to your phone's address book. Open a contact and tap **Save to Device** to add them to your phone contacts.
