Very similar to how Messages was changed last year. Google Contacts relaunches as well! Refresh emphasizes the simplest way for the user to follow the application, enabling them to locate and manage their calls easily.
Usurped by the so-called ‘hamburger button’, the ‘navigation drawer’ – that supposed button, which is hidden, no longer exists. Alternatively, a mustache of magnifying glass obtrudes at the top of the search bar instead, exactly looking like the “Highlights” tab.
Dread is not about switching between your different contact details – it has now become child’s play. Added a dropdown menu for contacts to allow you to choose between “All contacts” and separate accounts. No more hassling through themes!
Even the set-up of your view customization has yet to see any changes. Customizing how you view the popular search engine is now just a dropdown menu away; Google has added the “Customize view” option to this menu leaving only your profile photo on the overflow menu. In this way, the menu is off the top bar being as minimalist as possible.
Nevertheless, the bar filter is a factor that might as well have the most shine on show. The elegant placement of this button at the upper right expands the contact types, like phone numbers, emails, and companies, showing and hiding as needed. The implementation of this move enables the contact person’s identification to be even quicker.
Overall, the redesign process in Google Contacts will benefit both themselves who are currently using the app, and all the users in the future. The new interface providing simple navigation for address management will make your address book much less troublesome to utilize. The update is proceeding from 4.27.26.x to Google Contacts for Android.
