Google is currently testing an exciting new feature to enhance user convenience and elevate the functionality of its Contacts app, . The upcoming update promises to change the way users manage contact ringtones. It will offer a dedicated section for a seamless and personalized experience.
As uncovered by the GApps Flags and Leaks channel on Telegram (via PhoneArena), the experimental feature is embedded in version 4.22.37.586680692 of the Google Contacts app. This addition aims to simplify the process of setting and previewing ringtones for individual contacts. Instead of navigating through menus, users will soon have a centralized interface where they can effortlessly select a contact, explore available ringtones, and preview their choice.
This new ringtone section contains all relevant settings in one user-friendly menu. Not to mention it provides an intuitive solution to an age-old inconvenience. Your existing contacts with custom ringtones will also show up in the same place. As of now, the feature is still in development. However, rooted Android users can activate specific flags within the app to use this hidden feature.
The ‘Ringtones’ option under Fix & manage in Contacts lets you set/change ringtones for individual contacts easily
In the current public version, users need to individually set a specified ringtone for each contact. However, once Google officially launches the feature, users will be able to manage all contact ringtones conveniently from the “Fix & Manage > Ringtones” menu within the app.
This addition to Google Contacts comes at the right time, coinciding with Google Messages‘ efforts to enhance the Rich Communication Services (RCS) platform. With recent updates aimed at making RCS as feature-rich as its counterparts, Google is ensuring that its Contacts app also evolves to meet user expectations.
The announcement of “Profiles” as part of these updates further emphasizes Google’s commitment to personalization. It allows users to customize profile names and pictures associated with their phone numbers within the Contacts app.
