Contacts

A practical address book for Android

Contacts is Google’s app for storing, finding, and maintaining the people you communicate with. It suits anyone who wants one dependable contact list across phones and Google services, whether the list is mostly personal numbers, work connections, or a mixture of both. The app is developed by Google LLC and belongs to the Communication category.

Keep contact details together

Contacts can connect your address book to a Google Account, helping keep saved people available when you change devices or use more than one device. That account-based approach is useful for reducing manual transfers and keeping information consistent. You can search the list quickly, open a person’s saved details, and add or edit fields such as phone numbers, email addresses, and other notes supported by the contact record.

Useful tools for list maintenance

Large address books become difficult to manage when the same person appears more than once. Contacts includes tools for identifying and combining duplicate entries, making it easier to keep records tidy. Deleted contacts can also be recovered from the trash for a limited period, which provides a safeguard against accidental removal. Account selection helps separate or switch between contact sources when personal and work details are stored under different Google Accounts.

Scale and user feedback

The app has passed 5,000,000,000+ installs and holds a supplied rating of 4.28 out of 5 from more than 1.8 million reviews. That reach reflects its close place in the Android and Google ecosystem, though users looking for detailed CRM-style tagging or highly customised contact workflows may find its organisation options more focused on everyday address-book use.
