The import takes twelve seconds, but the app gives up after ten, because that&rsquo;s what its HTTP client does by default. It shows a spinner and sends the request again. Now the server is running two imports of the same contacts into the same account, and the user ends up with every contact twice.</p> <p>Retries like that are normal and mostly good. Networks drop replies, phones switch from Wi-Fi to mobile data, and a client that never retried would leave users stuck. The trouble is a retry that can&rsquo;t tell it&rsquo;s a retry. TaskFused gives the server a way to tell.</p>
