Restoring Your Contacts on Nostr - #HOWDONOSTR

Managing contacts on Nostr can be trickier than it seems. Switching apps or relays can sometimes lead to accidental loss of your contact list. Thankfully, there are several ways to restore your contacts. Here’s a brief guide:

1. Using the Nostr Profile Manager / Follows Manager

Visit https://metadata.nostr.com or https://follows.nostr.com. To restore your contacts, you’ll need a browser extension:

- For Desktop: Use Nostr Connect on Chrome browsers that support extensions.

- For Android: Use Kiwi Browser with Nostr Connect.

- For iOS: Use the Nostore app extension for Safari.

2. Using Nostur (iOS)

The Nostur app notifies you when it detects a new version of your contact list and offers options to restore or approve changes.

- Important: You must already be a Nostur user before losing your contact list.

- Download Nostur: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/nostur-nostr-client/id1672780508

3. Using Citrine (Android)

The Citrine relay runs locally on your phone, enabling contact restoration from a backup.

- Important: Citrine must be set up before your contacts are lost.

4. Using Primal Premium

If you’re a Primal Premium user, go to the Nostr Tools section and select "Contacts Backup." You can view all backups and choose a restore point.
