Google Contacts update to streamline creating a new entry


The update shows what's most important and leaves its extra options out of sight until you need them.

Users will soon find boxes for a person's first name, last name, company, and phone number directly below the "Add picture" option. The deep dive shows that tapping the option produces a floating menu from the bottom of the UI, containing fields like middle name, prefix, suffix, nickname, and more. The redesign's early preview shows the text box is much larger as it finishes the original list of available contact options before adding more.
