As you can see in the screenshot above, which highlights the Contacts app’s UI before the update (left) and after (right), this update enhances the user experience. It does that by streamlining the display of contact information and improving overall organization. Users will now be able to quickly access important details from connected apps without having to sift through a cluttered list of phone numbers.
The “Connected apps” section appears to be not limited to just messaging apps but basically any app installed on your device that uses similar contact syncing. This usually involves granting the app in question access to your contact list, a step that not only allows the app to see your contacts but also uses this integration to provide a more personalized experience.
This update is rolling out gradually and is server-side, meaning it is not dependent on any app code tweaking or experimental flags. However, make sure you have the latest Google Contacts version (4.26) installed to receive this feature as soon as it is rolled out for your account.
