@Aga-C I think there has been a mistake. This is not an enhancement proposal, but a bug report. Data gets silently dropped when exporting and importing it, which is faulty behavior, not a missing feature. This is doubly wrong for an app that is advertised as:

🔄 RELIABLE BACKUP & EXPORT OPTIONS:
Ensure your contacts are always safe with our reliable backup system. Seamlessly export or import contacts in vCard format, making data migration and backup a breeze.

BTW thank you for your hard work. :)
