- Google Contacts could soon allow users to show or hide read-only contacts synced from connected apps.
- The new feature aims to help users troubleshoot issues like duplicated contacts by revealing otherwise hidden view-only entries.
- Most users likely won’t need this enabled, but the switch offers better visibility for those who occasionally need it.
Google Contacts is in the limelight for the new Pixel VIPs widget, but Google has other features in the pipeline. Google Contacts v4.57.27 includes code for showing and hiding read-only contacts that are provisioned through connected apps. We managed to enable the feature early to give you an early look.
