What is a ZCF file?

ZCF files mostly belong to Truecaller. ZCF files store contact information primarily as an XML backup from Nokia Asha phones.
This file format embeds contact details in an XML structure, which means the data is stored as plain text with tags defining names, phone numbers, and other contact fields.
Key points sourced by FilExt.com:
  • The file contains data in a standard XML format.
  • It is used to back up contacts, ensuring data can be restored or transferred.
  • The Truecaller app is linked with these files for contact verification and management.
  • FilExt.com tip: To view or edit a ZCF file, you may use an XML viewer or a plain text editor. For more details on how your contacts backup may interact with modern apps, see Truecaller.
