Google Contacts .. Since Google Contacts is the default contacts app for Google phones, including Pixel smartphones, most Android phone users should be acquainted with it. Since it was originally made accessible for Gmail in 2007, the service’s primary objective has been the same: helping you manage your contacts list. Google is known for regularly modifying the user interface of its software suite, and Contacts is no exception. An next update is expected to bring about an improvement, at least in one area.

Version 4.26 of Contacts is currently being upgraded. Although it includes broad bug fixes, some of its additions are restricted to certain flags. These flags were raised by TheSpAndroid’s dependable AssembleDebug, which also revealed the UI modifications that were concealed under the surface. Furthermore, users’ home screens now have a new widget with the flags enabled.
When the new user interface is activated, navigational chips like “Phone,” “Email,” and “Company” may be seen or hidden by tapping the filter symbol with three horizontal lines on the Contacts app’s home screen. The sidebar and hamburger symbol no longer appear when you choose someone’s email, and a new bottom sheet card appears instead. Last but not least, in addition to the current floating action button, a new “plus” symbol is now accessible in the search bar to enable speedy addition of new contacts.
You should be able to utilize the new messages widget on your home screen by navigating to Google Contacts. The application will let you to choose a single contact to see messages from, which should theoretically facilitate speedy texting of your most important contact. AssembleDebug is currently unaware of any public distribution dates for this functionality, thus it will stay buried behind flags.
The previous version of this future widget seems to be a nice extension of the Google Contacts widget that was released in October of last year and offered a shortcut to a single contact. It’s not the most recent addition to Contacts either; as of this past December, Google was developing a section just for personalized ringtones. Google Maps’ most recent updates may be considered an upgrade even if this UI revamp won’t be considered one.
