The Google Contacts app was exposed and will cancel the new information menu for designated accounts. How to fix this article will teach you
Although in this era when various communication services are very convenient, the practicality of the contact list of traditional mobile phones has been greatly reduced (oh, I still remember that I used to copy it by hand when I was a child… I wonder if there is such a thing as a physical phone book now?). However, Google has not slowed down in updating such application experience.
Interestingly, foreign media found that the latest Google Contacts/Google Contacts app seems to have made a seemingly regressive change in the experience of adding new data. Fortunately, there are currently solutions to remedy the problem.

The new version of Google Contacts may cancel the menu function for adding new information for a specified account
According to foreign media Android Authority, the changes found in the Google Contacts app of v4.42.26.682057806. Among them, in the functional interface for creating new contacts through the “+” in the lower right corner of the application, the drop-down menu interface for selecting “Save to” that was originally pinned to the top has been cancelled.

In the new version of the contact creation experience, it has been changed to force the interface to be saved to a single Gmail account, and the modification cannot be found yet.
Because the detailed information at the bottom and the option to add existing contacts have been synchronized into a capsule-shaped button design. This has led to speculation that with the redesign of the interface, the new function of creating contacts for multiple Gmail accounts will have a high chance of appearing in the official version.
That is to say, we do not rule out that in subsequent interface updates, Google will simply display where the contacts are stored at the bottom and change it to an interface that can be switched through buttons. On the other hand, there is still room for change in this change – after all, it is still in the APK disassembly stage.
However, foreign media have also found ways to avoid it. Just after saving the contacts. You can actually find the “move to another account” option through the menu settings in the upper right corner of the contact information. Here, you can still perform the same actions as in the previous menu – it’s just a little more troublesome and requires a few extra steps.
All in all, while looking forward to Google bringing a more complete user experience to the Contacts App, at least there is a remedy.
