Google made an update on Google Contact's performance on Android. The gadget, which was just introduced earlier this year, has a number of new looks that further spoil the eye.

Quoted from 9to5google, Google has added more configurations to the application. This configuration comes in the smallest to the largest size.

Not only the configuration, but the appearance that includes it is also different. At the smallest sizes 1x1 and 2x1, Google only displays contact profiles added to the gadget.

In size 3x1, the gadget is in the form of a long pill with additional call and message icons. The largest sizes, namely 4x1 and 5x1, show the call icon, message, and contact name.

Unbounded to a size of 5x1, this Google Contact could still be extended to a square size with a round end. If widened to a maximum size, the display that appears is the contact profile and the message and call icon.

This latest version is made more lonjong compared to the previous version which was dominant with a round look. With this more diverse variety, users can choose and change the appearance of the contacts they like.

To use this gadget, you need to update the Google Contact app to version 4.17. In addition to a changed lookwidget, Google also added several new venues in it.
