Synchronize Contacts & Calendar (iOS apps) by CardDAV/CalDAV profiles

Update 03/30/2026

This guide explains how to connect the mobile apps Contacts and CalendariOS (iPhone, iPad, etc.) to the contacts & calendars hosted by Infomaniak.

 

Préambule

  • Your iOS device will be automatically configured via Apple .mobileconfig profiles compatible with Apple, unlike a manual configuration.
  • It is possible to delete a configuration profile once installed (scroll down to the bottom of this page for instructions).
  • Infomaniak contacts & calendars are linked to your Infomaniak account; when you log in to ksuite.infomaniak.com/contacts or /calendar you will likely need to perform two-factor authentication (2FA) when logging in.
    • In this case, an application password is required to establish synchronization between your device and Infomaniak tools.
    • But don't worry, creating such a password is offered by following the configuration assistant.
  • The various services offered by Infomaniak are all compatible with the corresponding standard protocols (CalDAV/CardDAV for contacts & calendars, for example), therefore if you encounter a problem with third-party software, contact its publisher or a Partner and consult the support policy as well as article 11.9 of the Infomaniak Terms of Service.

 

Install a configuration profile

To do this:

  1. Click here to access the Infomaniak configuration tool (online service https://config.infomaniak.com) — log in if necessary to your Infomaniak account on the Organization on which your email address is managed.
  2. Choose to install the profile on this device:
    sign
  3. Choose to synchronize contacts & calendars:
    sign
  4. Generate an application password dedicated to synchronization (to maintain the usual 2FA connection of your user account):
    sign
  5. Copy the generated application password (it will be requested during the installation of the Apple profile).
  6. Download the Apple profile:
    sign
  7. Allow the download on the device:
    sign
  8. Open the device iOS settings:
    sign
  9. Press the recently downloaded profile:
    sign
  10. Press Install:
    sign
  11. Unlock your iOS device:
    sign
  12. Press Install:
    sign
  13. Enter (or paste) the application password twice consecutively (contacts + calendars).
  14. Tap on Finish:
    sign

If your iOS Contacts and Calendar applications were already open, you will need to restart them. You will then see the information added by the synchronization.

*Why is it necessary to choose the guide version corresponding exactly to your macOS / iOS system version? Apple sometimes introduces subtle changes with each new version of its system, for example a path on iOS 15

… becomes this on iOS 18
