Improvements for CardDAV

CardDAV, an open standard for accessing contact information across the web, has introduced several enhancements to improve user experience, as announced by Tech Lead Hakson Teh. These new features include high-resolution contact photos for full-screen display on devices like iPhones, Sync-Collections for better battery life by minimizing data exchange, and POST support to reduce data usage when creating new contacts. For Google Apps users, there is also the capability to search the domain’s Global Address List. Most of these improvements are available for Apple iOS 7 devices that synchronize with Google Contacts, and additional details can be found in the Developer’s Guide.
