1. A method of identifying contacts of a user of a device, the user being a registered user of an application which is implemented at the device, the method comprising:
- retrieving contact identifiers from a contact list stored at the device, said contact identifiers identifying contacts of the user of the device;
transmitting the retrieved contact identifiers to a server associated with the application;
determining, at the server, which of the contacts identified by the transmitted contact identifiers are registered users of the application; and
transmitting, from the server to the device, indications of the contacts of the user of the device which are determined by the server to be registered users of the application.

Abstract
Method and system for identifying contacts of a user of a device, wherein the user is a registered user of an application which is implemented at the device. Contact identifiers are retrieved from a contact list stored at the device, wherein the contact identifiers identify contacts of the user of the device. The retrieved contact identifiers are transmitted to a server associated with the application. The server determines which of the contacts identified by the transmitted contact identifiers are registered users of the application. Indications of the contacts of the user of the device which are determined by the server to be registered users of the application are transmitted from the server to the device.

17. A system comprising a device and a server associated with an application which is implemented at the device, the system being for identifying contacts of a user of the device, the user being a registered user of the application, wherein the device is configured to:
-
retrieve contact identifiers from a contact list stored at the device, said contact identifiers identifying contacts of the user of the device; and transmit the retrieved contact identifiers to the server; and
wherein the server is configured to;determine which of the contacts identified by the transmitted contact identifiers are registered users of the application; and transmit, to the device, indications of the contacts of the user of the device which are determined by the server to be registered users of the application.
