Google Contacts is a contact management service developed by Google . It is available as an Android mobile app, a web app , or on the sidebar of Gmail as part of Google Workspace .
History
Google Contacts originated as the built-in contacts manager in Gmail , which was introduced in 2007.[ 4] It was later released as an Android app for Nexus devices in 2010,[ 5] before it became available for all Android phones in 2015.[ 6] A standalone web application was released the same year, featuring a revamped user interface .[ 7] It returned to Gmail in the form of a sidebar in 2020 as part of Google Workspace .[ 8]
Interpolation
The service can also be synchronized with Apple 's Contacts app on iOS and Samsung 's Contacts app on Galaxy .[ 9] [ 10] It could also be synced with Google Sync before its discontinuation.[ 11]
Reception
In 2011, with the introduction of higher-density screens and larger internal memories on Android devices, Google Contacts was heavily criticized for only supporting lower-resolution photos in Android Jelly Bean .[ 12] This limitation was lifted the following year.[ 13]
