Google is giving its Contacts app for Android a refresh, with a focus on streamlining the user experience . The latest update brings a modern scrollbar design to the main Contacts tab, replacing the previous, blocky version.
The new scrollbar boasts a sleek pill-shaped design with dynamic theming, similar to that found in the Pixel Launcher's app drawer. This update brings the Contacts app more in line with Google's current Material You design language, creating a cleaner and more cohesive visual experience.
Along with the scrollbar redesign, the update also removes the dedicated overflow menu from the search bar. Now, users can access the "Select all" option by long-pressing a single or multiple contacts.
These subtle changes aim to improve the overall usability of the Contacts app. The thinner, modern scrollbar allows for better viewing of contact names without obstructing the list. Additionally, the removal of the overflow menu simplifies the search functionality, requiring fewer taps to access the "Select all" option.
The new scrollbar and search bar tweaks are rolling out as a server-side update to Google Contacts for Android, meaning the update may not be immediately available to all users. It's recommended to check the Play Store for updates or force close the app from the App info section to potentially trigger the update.
