A bunch of new upcoming changes to the Google Contacts app:
• Redesigned Call, Text, etc. buttons, which are now presented as a circle with an icon inside.
• A new 'Google Maps · Location sharing' tile, which when clicked will open a map with the contact's location (if they have shared the location with you).
• A new tile will appear on the 'Highlights' tab with Suggestions for who to add to your favorites. As stated, this is "
based on who you interact with most".
These hidden features complement the previous changes I discovered, such as the time and weather tile by contact's home address and the new round-frame photo display.
All of these new features are built inside the latest version 4.9.19.533509922 and require only server-side activation (means, they are not yet available).
