One UI 7 changed contacts

[Scotchman99]

My contacts have always shown my 'favorite' contacts at the top of the list. This makes it easy to quickly get to the only 5 or 6 people I actually care about

After updating yesterday, it now lists 'Recently Added' contacts above the 'Favorites'. I very much do not want this! I can't see how to sort it though...any help is appreciated.  I want to keep using the Samsung contacts list, but definitely will not if I can't fix this 😮

Actually it's a Google listing that the contacts list show on your device when you first set it up.

Hi and Welcome.

Open the contact and click the star 🌟 at the bottom left to mark them as your favourite.
They then should appear at the top of the list.

Hope this helps. 😊

I just switched to "recent" and clicked back and the "Recently Added" disappeared for me

Hi, thanks for answering. This is what my screen looks like, so not sure where to change it.

[Scotchman99]

Thanks, but I'm not seeing the option for 'recent'.  See above for what the contacts screen looks like on mine right now 😮

Literally tap "Recents" for your recent calls then tap back on to contacts, the "Recently added" disappeared when i did it earlier

Click on the contact photo to get into their info

[Scotchman99]

Curious. When I do that, it still has 'Recently Added' contacts at the top 😞

I know how to get into their info, this is not something that's set by the contact. This is the phones OS choosing to show me 'recently added' contacts at the top of the contact list, above my favorites.  Some of these are months old, because I don't add contacts very often
