Updated Google Contacts app makes it easier to get rid of duplicates
Google is pushing
out an updated version of its contacts management app, bringing some of the
features available in the web version to the Android app.
The v 1.5 update
reorganizes the user interface of Google Contacts. Instead of the two tabs –
all and favorites – the app now just displays your entire contact list, with a
sidebar menu available via the hamburger button on the left. Opening that up
reveals a new section for managing duplicate contacts. That’s a feature that
was present on the web app of Contacts, but the process was more convoluted on
the Android app.
You can now also
add labels to your contacts, making it easy to organize large contact lists
based on groups, for things like family, work, or school. That’s another
feature that was present on the web app and it’s now finally making the jump to
the Android app, a place where it’s actually more likely to be used.
Google Contacts
1.5 is currently rolling out to all users, so it should land on your device
pretty soon.
