| Enable the new Google Contacts for your users from the Admin console Posted: 29 Mar 2016 10:14 AM PDT Last year, we launched the new Google Contacts preview to consumer users with several time-saving improvements, such as a rebuilt "Find duplicates" feature, automatic updating of contacts with shared Google profile information, as well as a fresh look and feel.

After enabling this feature, when users next visit Google Contacts they will see the new UI and a "warm welcome" splash page will guide them through the new features.  Key improvements Easily get rid of duplicates: No one likes having duplicate contacts, but they inevitably crop up.

Improved Domain Directory: The directory is easier to navigate through a more intuitive and faster "infinite" scroll.  Automatically Updated Contacts: Users can keep their contacts up to date automatically with shared information from the domain directory, Google+ (if enabled), and more.
