4️⃣ Things to ✔️Check in Google Contacts

❓When is the last time you went to 👀contacts.google.com? There have been many new updates. Here are a few things to try out.

contacts.google.com

1. 🛑Stop Suggesting Old 📧Emails

💠Sometimes when I am typing in someone's name an old email address for them is suggested. It is very annoying, especially when I accidentally email them at an old address. When I see my email suggesting to me email accounts that I know are no longer valid I go to contacts.google.com and either delete them or update the information.

🧿Use the 3 dots menu next to “Edit” to delete the contact. This email will no longer be suggested to you.

2. Merge and Fix🧰

🟣Everyone has a personal email and work email. They do not need to be 2 separate contacts in your address book. Google Contacts will automatically search for duplicates to merge together.

3. 📧Email a Whole Group🧑‍🤝‍🧑🧑🏽‍🤝‍🧑🏽🧑🏻‍🤝‍🧑🏿

🟠Tired of ⌨️typing in the email address of every teacher in the 🧮math department only to forget someone?

🔵 In Google Contacts a “label” is actually a group.

🟢Once you create a group (label) you can open any contact and use the 3 dots menu to assign a label to the contact.

🟣For example you can see in the image below that I have a “Parents” label.

🟡 Now I can type in “Parents” into the Gmail subject line and it will send the message to everyone in that label.

4. 🟠Determine What You Last Discussed🗨️

🔹When you select a contact in contacts.google.com you will see a box for “Recent interactions.”

🔶Before going to a meeting with the department chair or a parent, see what recent conversations you’ve had to remind yourself what you all messaged last.
