Add guests from your contacts
SeatSpot can add guests straight from your phone's contacts. Tick the people and each arrives with their name and first phone number, marked Not sent, ready for Text seats.

How it works
- Tap Add from contacts under the add-guest form, or on the empty guest list.
- The first time, your phone asks which contacts to share. On iOS 18 you can share just some and add more later with Choose more contacts.
- Tick the people and tap Add N guests.
- People already on the list are greyed out as Already a guest.
Good to know
- Only names and phone numbers are read, and they stay on your phone.
- It is one undoable step, and on the free plan it is all or nothing.
- If you said no to contacts, the screen offers a way to Settings.
- Adding guests from contacts is part of the free plan.
