I'm running Android 5.1.1 on my Xiaomi Mi2S. When I ran MIUI, I used to have a whole phonebook stored in my internal memory. Before migrating to Lollipop, I backed it all up in a .vcf file. The problem is, in my contacts app, under the section "Contacts to display", there is no "Phone Storage", only my Google, Whatsapp, Viber etc. accounts!
I want my number to be stored locally in my device, not to be sent to some other service so that I must sync to it and visualize what I have stored there. My contacts must belong to me alone, not to Google!
My Mi2S used to be a phone, first of all, I could store numbers in it to call them when I wanted, but with Lollipop all of this seems lost! It looks like Google thinks I'm not allowed to have a cellphone, or at least that making phone calls isn't the primary function of a smartphone, so it can be sacrificed to no consequence just for them to put their hands on always more and more private information!
I'd like to use Android's default contacts app, so can you tell me if there's a way to use my phone storage in it? If that is not possible, it's okay to know an app that can, too. All alternatives to Contacts I have found can just read what Contacts has in it.
Thanks for your help, have a nice day!
