This is currently in the code, it just has a note that it needs to be tested. I'm going to give it a go and see if it works: https://github.com/expo/expo/blob/main/packages/expo-contacts/android/src/main/java/expo/modules/contacts/ContactsModule.java

Brian Hamby: Been trying to use addContactAsync() but it says it's not doable on Android because Expo Go doesn't have the WRITE_CONTACTS permission as written in the documentation (or you have to build a version everytime you want to test)
For those functions above, documentation still says (even with the new SDK that came out recently) that it's only for iOS. 
If your testing made it work then i'd be really interested in knowing how you made it work :D

Novax: Yeah, sucks about the permissions. I haven't tried it yet, but I'll make sure to come back and let you know when I do!
