process of delivering contacts from the source to&nbsp;iOS devices&nbsp;works as follows:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1. <strong>Caching Source Data<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The&nbsp;CiraSync&nbsp;tunnel caches contact data from the source according to the configured&nbsp;CiraSync&nbsp;schedule\u2014this can be daily, weekly, or monthly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. <strong>Pushing Contacts to iOS<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mobile Direct uses the\u00a0CardDAV\u00a0protocol to push contacts to the iOS device. This follows the device\u2019s\u00a0<strong>\u201cFetch New Data\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0settings, which can be configured to:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check at intervals of&nbsp;<strong>15, 30, or 60 minutes<\/strong>, or manually.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use&nbsp;<strong>Push technology<\/strong>&nbsp;(if supported by the server) to deliver updates as&nbsp;frequently&nbsp;as possible.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5. Handling Changes on the Device<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If a user edits or accidentally&nbsp;deletes&nbsp;a contact on the phone, these changes will not persist. At the next sync interval, the entire contact set from the source will overwrite the device\u2019s contacts.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-s-coming-next\"><span
