As you build up your list of contacts on your phone, you can use Quick Contact for Android 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 to a contact.
Open your Contacts list and touch the contact’s picture .
Touching the contact’s picture opens a Quick Contact bubble displayed directly above the contact’s name. This bubble 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.
Touch a Quick Contact icon to communicate with the contact.
Depending on the icon you’ve touched, a different application will open.
Adding a shortcut for a contact to your Home screen allows you to open Quick Contact for that contact without opening the Contacts application.
