Contacts Recently Added list with One UI 7 Update

usersCc8zWvNjj — Thu, 01 May 2025 02:45:47 GMT

Just got One UI 7 update on my S23 Ultra and noticed that there is a "Recently Added" list in my Contacts that appears before my Favorites list. First, these contacts are/were not recently added contacts and, second, I cannot find a way to delete the list without deleting the contacts. The update seems to have randomly created this list, which is stupid! Please find a way for us to either delete this list or, at the very least, move it below the Favorites list.

I just noticed that! Two of my contacts in the 'recent,' list were added over a year ago! One of them was from my previous phone!

Interesting. I also have an S23 Ultra and did not experience this.

I hate this! Looks like my whole contact list was recently added. How do we disable this function? Annoying

I absolutely hate this change. My favorites are favorites for a reason and I want them at the top of my list.

I have the same issue with my Galaxy S23—since the most recent update, my Favorites contacts appear below a long list of "Recently Added" contacts (some of which were added over a year ago). Now, I have to scroll to get to them. Is there a way to arrange Contacts so Favorites are once again at the top?

I fixed this - click each 'recently added' contact one by one, click the 'i' button for each one, then back out of the contact, and go to the next. One by one they will fall off of the recently added list until your favorites are at the top again.

This is exactly why I came here. I knew someone would have the answer.

Glad it worked for some people, but it didn't work for me. I even tried "favoriting" them, backing out and then removing them from favorites. All it did was move someone else into the group. It keeps 5 contacts in the group no matter what I try.

You're a genius! How long did it take you to figure it out? I've been on the verge of throwing my phone across the room for hours lol

Yet another case of Samsung forgetting people use their phones as phones. This ui update is horrible!

go to the phone / call app

click on contacts

then click on the 3 dots at the top right for " more options" (it does not say more options )

go to contact settings

navigate to 'show frequently contacted'

toggle off

PITA I promise you I was so mad but this fixed it!!!
