Google Contacts: New design with Material You elements rolled out to all users (screenshots)

Google designers are currently busy and they have an extension Google contacts app Recently donated a new interface for Wear OS smartwatches. Now the Android app has also been tackled and it brings a new design for the detailed view of a contact. There they say goodbye to the classic dividing lines and instead focus on specific areas.

The Google Contacts app is very central, at least as a platform, and thus is of great importance. A new design for managing all contacts hasn’t been available for a long time, so the now-discovered adaptation in the Android app can be seen as the first step for the next generation. This becomes apparent in the detailed view of individual contacts, which now uses You material fields instead of dividing lines.

In the comparison image above, which unfortunately is very censored (understandable), you can see the changes. Zones are separated by color specified by Material You. There is also a new “Contact Information” area, which summarizes the most important contact options, and is therefore the first. The new design has a different effect, but since nothing has changed functionally or structurally, all users will surely find their way quickly.
