All the news from Google Contacts

The Google Contacts app doesn't update very often, but when it does, we must be right in thinking that it will bring juicy news that will make our lives, if not easier, then more beautiful and useful. The last update was in August and, before facing the Christmas holidays, they stand out with this version 1.6 that comes loaded with new designs and utilities that will surprise us to all. We begin to shell out everything new that version 1 offers us.6 from Google Contacts.

Icon design change

Now, the icon is a more intense blue, to match that of the phone (which many of us use so little). Let's remember that before it was light blue. The icon in the form of an agenda of telephones will be far from welcoming the most inclusive circular design.

Menu Changes

The version 1.6 of Google Contacts also brings new designs to its interface: if in the previous version we found the menu in the right, in this it is located in the upper left part. Within the menu, we also find some significant changes. The new menu has a more inclusive screen, from which we can directly access all the settings, instead of the previous one, much less intuitive.As we can see in the photographs, for example, the import and export options are separated into two different sections.

Within the contacts screen, the menu expands: when selecting one of our contacts, if we access the menu, we can assign , directly, a new tone or have your call forwarded, directly, to voicemail.

New 'suggestions' menu

This is, perhaps, the most noticeable change within this new version 1.6 of the Google Contacts application It is accessed through from the new menu located at the top right. Clicking on the option “Suggestions” will open a new screen where we can:

• Delete duplicate contacts: Isn't it annoying to have to look at contact by contact and delete or group similar or identical contacts? Now this new version has an option to eliminate duplicate contacts, without having to download third-party applications. It also gives you the option to link those contacts A really interesting option.
• Add Contacts: You just received an important call, and when you hung up, you went about your business and forgotadd the number to the phonebook Not only that, but when you hang up, you have continued with calls between friends and you don't know which contact you are missing. On this screen you can add them directly without having to search for them one by one.

In addition, from the contact screen itself, you will have the 'pull to refresh' option, that is, you can make a swipe gesture from top to bottom to update your contact book without having to access the menu.

If you haven't yet received this new version 1.6 of Google Contacts, you can go directly to this link and download it in a clean and legal way. Remember to enable the installation of applications of unknown origin in the menu and thus be able to enjoy all the news from Google Contacts
