Google Contacts Redesign: Less Clutter, Direct Info Coming for Android

A new update is coming to Google Contacts, and it is a massive one that will redesign the entire interface and app for Android smartphones to enjoy. This will effectively lessen the app's clutter, which would ask for and deliver more important details regarding a new or existing contact that one will save on their devices.

With this user-centric redesign, Google Contacts is putting your needs first. The update will deliver direct information, prioritizing the essential details that matter most to you. It's a testament to Google's commitment to improving your contact management experience.

Google Contacts Redesign to Bring Less Clutter

Assemble Debug, a renowned tipster , shared with Android Authority that they found an upcoming update for Google Contacts that would make its design less cluttered for users on Android. This redesign is rolling out with the latest version of the app, v4.30.50.628193927, and it makes it more straightforward compared to its previous interface.

Instead of being bombarded with various fields, it goes directly to the point where users are asked about the first and last name, company, phone number, and email address fields to fill out.

After that, users may add other important information like birthdays or any other 'significant date,' addresses, and labels that would fit the person.

Apart from the four fields of focus, Google Contacts also added the Notes text box for direct information about the contact that users are trying to save to better understand the person. Android's experience on Google Contacts saw a streamlined update dedicated to removing clutter and making it more direct-to-the-point, avoiding previous information that may not be relevant to a user.

It also adds a new Favorite button to designate a top contact, as well as an 'Add Field' button that allows a user to customize additional information to follow up.

Android and Google Apps Development

Android is known for sporting built-in apps directly from Google, similar as to how Apple brings native apps to the iPhone, alongside massive experiences thanks to operating system updates. Late last year, Google offered a feature on the Play Store regarding a way to uninstall apps on their Android devices remotely, through another Android smartphone or tablet under the same Google account.

Various Google apps are available to enjoy on Android, including Maps, Gmail, Google Translate, and more. Among the most used are Google Messages, the RCS-enabled messaging platform. It recently brought an update that offers a new creative way of expressing themselves to receivers, with the new selfie GIFs that can create animated clips that match what they want to send.

Google prides itself on the many apps and experiences available right off the bat from an Android smartphone, particularly for devices that mainly rely on these, like Xiaomi, Realme, and more.

This update for Google Contacts offers a redesign of its interface that prioritizes direct information and less clutter, optimizing the experience on Android more.
