# Select the display mode in Contacts Pro

Contacts Pro can show your shared book in three layouts, so everyone can view contacts the way that suits them best. You can set a default view when you configure the tab and change it on the fly from the toolbar.

The three display modes are:

  • Card: rich cards with photos and key details (the default view).
  • List: a compact, row-based list that fits more people on screen.
  • Group: contacts organized under the groups you created.

Choosing Card, List, or Group display mode in Contacts Pro

Group view is most useful once you have organized people into groups. Create groups first, then switch to Group view to browse them.
