Say goodbye to this old look
Google has been working on the redesign of the Google Contacts web app since 2015. Recently, it got the new Material Design-inspired look that’s seen in a slew of Google products. Now, the company is ready to leave the past behind with the new Contacts web app replacing the older version completely by February 2019. This specific announcement will impact G Suite users but it’s also likely to affect the number of Gmail accounts who still use the old design.
Starting November 28, the new Contacts web app will come to all G Suite users (or be force-enabled by the organization’s admin). And then it’ll be the default starting January 15, 2019. Admins will not be able to turn this off then. And then on February 12, 2019, the old version will go away entirely.
