• Google Contacts’ redesigned Create contact page is rolling out widely.
• It condenses some fields into buttons, adds a new Note section, and hides all non-essential fields.
• The updated UI is available on Google Contacts v4.39. You can try force-stopping the app if it’s not available on your device.

Google has been working on a design refresh for the Contacts app’s “Create contact” page for quite a while. We got our first look at the updated UI earlier this year in April, and it now appears to be rolling out widely.

The new “Create contact” page retains the Add picture, First name, Last name, and Company fields from the previous design. However, other essential fields, like Add phone, Add email, Add significant date, and Add to label now appear as buttons. The Add phone field is enabled by default, but users have the option to remove it by tapping the red button to the right.
