Google Contacts

Google Contacts is rolling out an exciting new feature that lets users set personalized, creative contact images using monograms or emojis. This update comes alongside a fresh redesign of the contacts settings page and introduces a fun and customizable way to make your contact list visually unique.

In the latest version (4.44.31.692334116) of the Google Contacts app, Android Authority contributor Assemble Debug discovered and activated this new contact image option. Now, in addition to using photos from your device, Google Photos, or preset illustrations, users can set up monograms or select emojis as contact images. Here’s a closer look at what these options offer:

  1. Monogram Creation: With the new “Monogram” setting, users can choose up to two letters to represent a contact. For instance, you can use initials or any two letters you prefer, which adds a unique visual identifier for each contact. Personalize it further by adjusting the color, background, and font style of the monogram. There’s even an “Inspire me” button that randomly selects different font and color combinations to make the monogram more visually appealing.
  2. Emoji Option: The “Emoji” setting enables users to set any emoji as a contact image. Just tap the image circle to access an inbuilt emoji picker, which allows you to browse and select the perfect emoji. While you can only set one emoji per contact, the Monochrome setting lets you adjust the colors for dark or light themes, with the emoji outline adapting to the background for a neat, clean look.

These creative options add a touch of personalization and fun to your Google Contacts. While it’s still unknown when this feature will be available to everyone, it’s an exciting update for those who enjoy a visually engaging contact list. We’ll keep you updated on its wider release—so stay tuned for more customization options on your contacts app!

How to stop phone link from hiding private notifications

Published

on

Android 15

If you use Phone Link to connect your Android phone to your Windows PC, you might notice some notifications don’t show all the details. This happens because of a security feature that hides sensitive info, like message content, to keep it safe. But if you trust your setup and want to see everything, you can tweak it easily.

First, open the Phone Link app on your Windows computer. Click the gear icon in the top-right corner to go to Settings. Next, find the “Features” section and pick “Notifications.” Look for an option called “Show notification details” or something similar—it might say “Hide sensitive content” instead. Turn this off by flipping the switch or unchecking the box.

Now, your notifications should show all the info, like full text messages, right on your PC screen. Just remember: if your computer isn’t private, anyone nearby might see these details too. So, only do this if you’re okay with that risk. This simple change lets you enjoy Phone Link without missing out on what’s in your alerts!

New look for Fitbit health and Google Keep tools

Published

Google

Fitbit has updated its Health Metrics page on Android, making it simpler and nicer to use. This section tracks things like breathing, heart rate, and oxygen levels. Before, it had two tabs: one for today’s stats and one for trends over time. Now, it’s all on one page, showing today’s numbers first with a clear dial.

You can tap each stat to see weekly, monthly, or yearly charts, plus a short explanation. The update is rolling out with Fitbit app version 4.39.2, though some users might need to wait a bit. Meanwhile, Google Keep is refreshing its Android widget to look more modern.

The “Quick Capture” widget, which helps you jot down notes fast, is getting taller and fuller. The plus sign for new notes now sits in a slim pill shape, and other icons—like for lists or drawings—are in neat boxes. This change matches Google’s latest design ideas but isn’t fully live yet—it shows up briefly when you add the widget. Both updates aim to make these tools easier and more fun to use every day.
