Google Contacts Preview and Gmail

If you switched to the new Google Contacts interface and select Contacts from the Gmail dropdown, you'll no longer see the old Google Contacts. Google will open the Contacts preview in a new tab and not inside Gmail, which doesn't use Material Design yet.


You can switch back to the old Contacts by clicking "Leave the Contacts preview" in the "More" menu. Another option is to use this permalink for the old Google Contacts: https://mail.google.com/mail/#contacts or this keyboard shortcut: press g then c in Gmail (assuming that keyboard shortcuts are enabled).

  1. Why in the world does Google think that when I bring up MY contacts and try to search for one of MY contacts, I want to search the whole world and not MY contact list??????????????

    I totally hate the new contact page. If Google disables the old interface and leaves the new one this way I will have to find a new contacts solution. I bet there will be many providers ready to jump into that vacuum.

    1. I feel you, this is the most incredibly poorly thought out functionality ever.
