Spring Cleaning for Your Contacts: Google streamlines navigation

Although Google Contacts received an upgrade last year, users need not worry as this is also being taken care of! This change says goodbye to the old navigation drawer to keep the contact list looking fresh and clean.

Consider the pre-phone way – account changes and labeling for the side menu were hidden. Then, the menu prompt is moved to a modern-looking drop-down at the top portion of the application. This lets you quickly navigate between groups. No more weekends wasted searching for the supernatural!

The search experience also benefited from the newly modernized search bar. It has replaced the existing cursor magnifying glass icon on the left with a “Highlight” tab that gives a more consistent feel. Plus, custom contacts on your app are also simple. In addition to a mini menu within the beak photo section, there’s a brief “Customize View” option that sits just above the dropdown.

However, what steals the show is the simple yet uncluttered main menu. Not long ago, we received a lot of spam emails. The new label picker is beautifully designed with dropdowns. Here you will find a list of labels that you can quickly add or create to improve the proper ordering of the list. On top of that, a new filter icon allows you to hide or seek a contact type publicly and you can choose to show or hide particular contact types like phone number, email, or company.

Haven’t you ever found yourself scrolling through an endless list of names you can’t even recognize? This upgrade will simplify communication with your contacts. Now you can figure out which people you need to collaborate with. Hence, the navigational elements have been simplified for hassle-free usage. As of the time we posted this information, the update is now arriving in the app for Google Contacts for Android with version 4.27.26.x. Here is the last line. Connecting is going to be less difficult and simpler in the future!
