Add the person yourself
Make a manual entry when you want to organise someone’s details. Include the information that is useful to your future conversations.
PEOPLE YOU WANT TO SPEAK TO AGAIN
Less searching.
More catching up.
Keep people and their preferred languages in one place. Arleyo contacts is your private collection, not a public directory of everyone using the service.
A PRIVATE COLLECTION
Useful details.
Kept intentionally.
Save the details that help you recognise a person and choose how to speak with them again. Contacts remain your own private collection.

SAVE BY CHOICE
A conversation today.
A contact for another day.
Add a contact manually, or choose to save someone from a call, invitation or profile. The choice to keep the person belongs to you.
Save after a connection
A call or invitation can be a starting point for saving a contact. Choosing to save a person is separate from simply joining a conversation.
Keep it intentional
Contacts does not imply automatic phone-book importing or an automatic notification to the person you save. It is not a public listing.
The useful details.
As much or as little as you need.
A name and a preferred language can be enough. Optional details and notes help you remember the context without turning every contact into a form to complete.
- Name & photo
- Recognise the person when you come back to your contacts.
- Preferred language
- Keep a language preference close to the person. Ask whether it still suits them when you next talk.
- Optional details & notes
- Save the context you choose to keep for future conversations.
- Favourite
- Mark a contact you want to find again easily.
FROM A FIRST HELLO TO A FAMILIAR PERSON
A small detail can help
the next conversation.
After talking to someone, decide whether you want to save a contact. A name and preferred language may be enough for a family member. A brief note may help you remember the context of a supplier or someone you met while travelling. Optional details are there for your choices, not a requirement to collect everything.
When you return, search for the person or use a favourite. Check that their details still fit the conversation. A preferred language can change; ask what the person wants to use and choose the relevant conversation mode.
Continue the conversation
You can start another call, continue in chat, arrange a meeting or use a direct file transfer where appropriate. Each action has its own conditions: a paid call needs caller credit; a direct file transfer needs both people online and receiver acceptance.
Keep details useful
If a note is no longer useful, edit or remove it. If you no longer want the contact, remove the entry. Managing your contact list is separate from managing saved recordings or transcripts; those locally saved copies need their own decisions.
Your private collection
This private list is not a public directory, and saving a person does not imply an automatic notification or phone-book import. Keep details intentionally and use them to make the next connection easier.
ONE CONTACT, SEVERAL WAYS TO CONNECT
Pick up in the way that fits.
Call ↗
Start a Direct or Translated conversation.
Chat ↗
Continue one to one or with a group.
Meet ↗
Bring people into a meeting.
Share a file ↗
Transfer directly while both people are online.
Direct and translated chat supports one-to-one and group conversations. Direct Files is a one-to-one, device-to-device transfer: both people must be online, the receiver accepts, and network conditions can prevent it.
A contact list that changes with you.
Search when you know who you want to reach. Edit details when a preference changes, or remove a contact you no longer want to keep.
Saving someone does not mean they are online or available to talk. Their preferred language helps you set up a conversation; check that it still suits them when you reconnect.
Your list is not everyone’s directory
Contacts is private rather than a public directory. Keep only the details you intend to save, and treat personal notes as information you are choosing to retain.
Managing a contact does not automatically save the content of calls or chat. Call history, local recordings and transcripts are separate subjects.
