Google to expand the home screen contacts widget limit

A recent report indicates that Google is making some changes to its contacts app, specifically lifting the limit on the favorite contacts home screen widget. Code discovered in version 4.40.48.672619802 of the Google Contacts app suggests that users will soon have the option to add more than seven favorite contacts to the widget.In his testing, code detective and tipster Assemble Debug found a way to add 16 favorites to the widget. He thinks you might be able to add even more since the widget now features a scroll function, allowing you to swipe up and down to see additional contacts.
