####How does the address book integration work?
The address bock integration was designed to protect your privacy. Conversations
neither uploads contacts from your address book to your server nor fills your
address book with unnecessary contacts from your online roster. If you manually
add a Jabber ID to your phones address book Conversations will use the name and
the profile picture of this contact. To make the process of adding Jabber IDs to
your address book easier you can click on the profile picture in the contact
detais within Conversations. This will start an add to address book intent with the jabber ID
as payload. This doesn’t require Conversations to have write permissions on your
address book but also doesn’t require you to copy past Jabber ID from one app to
another.
###Security
####Why are there to end-to-end encryption methods and which one should I choose?
In most cases OTR should be the encryption method of choice. It works out of the box with most contacts as long as they are online.
