Contacts

What Contacts does

Contacts is Google’s address book app for storing, finding and maintaining personal and work connections on Android. It suits users who want one searchable list of names, phone numbers, email addresses and other contact details, especially when those details are linked to a Google Account.

Organisation and recovery

The app can help keep a contact list orderly by identifying duplicate entries and combining them. Contact data can be synchronised through a Google Account, making the same records available when moving between supported devices and services. Deleted contacts can also be recovered from the trash within the available recovery period, which gives users a way to undo accidental removal.

• Search: Find saved people by name or stored contact information.
• Account separation: View contacts associated with different Google Accounts.
• Personal reminders: Surface details such as upcoming birthdays and anniversaries when available.
• Wear OS support: Access selected contact information from compatible watches.

Who it suits

Contacts is a practical choice for people already using Google services across more than one device. Its account-based syncing and cleanup tools are more useful for a growing address book than for someone who only needs a small offline list. Users seeking advanced customer relationship management, detailed tagging or highly specialised contact fields may find its scope more limited.
