Connecting Quickly With Your Contacts

As you build up your list of contacts on your phone, you can use the Quick Contact for Android feature to quickly chat, email, text message, place a call, or locate your contacts. Quick Contact for Android is a special set of icons that you can use to quickly and easily connect with a contact.

Open your Contacts list and tap the contact’s picture.

Tapping the contact’s picture opens a Quick Contact dialog box displayed directly below the contact’s name. It displays icons for all of the ways you can communicate with that contact. The available icons depend on the information you have saved for that contact.
