The most recent modification to Google Contacts, aside from the new icon, is the addition of a new "Highlights" tab. Between "Contacts" and "Fix & manage" on the Material You bottom bar is "Highlights." You get a grid of "Favorites" that can fit four icons in a row underneath the search field. The "Add" button in the top-right corner allows you to rapidly "Add" new ones. It is denser than the "Favorites" tab on the Phone app. The grid and the Favorites list at the top of the main tab coexist. There are now two ways to view as a result. Following this is "Recents," a two-tab list that begins with "View recently." Each contact has a view date, and you can clear the history using the overflow menu. The final item on the list, "Added lately," is the most helpful feature of this new UI.Google Contacts Google Contacts has undergone a recent upgrade that makes it a three-tab app with a navigation drawer in the main list view. It's becoming a little hectic on the app. “Fix & manage” to highlight various tools that the app offers was a useful addition, but it’s not clear whether it needed a whole tab approach. The Recents section can stay in the current Manage tab, while the new contacts grid can simply be put to the top of the main list and replace the Favorites list. In spite of this, the new Highlights tab may become the default method that users access Google Contacts. The grid is more aesthetically pleasing and user-friendly than the list, so users may simply search instead of scrolling.
