Contacts app outdated on Galaxy S24 Ultra? Default contact list issue

useraDvkYRAYkl — Tue, 09 Apr 2024 23:46:31 GMT

I have a Galaxy S24 Ultra the contacts app shows version 15.1.69. When I set the default contacts list to display on my Google account and set it. Then when I close out of the app it defaults back to "All Contacts"

I also have a Galaxy S23 Ultra the contacts app shows a newer version 15.1.82. When I select the default contacts list on this device it remembers the decision I make.

I've tried clearing data and that hasn't helped on the Galaxy S24 Ultra. Not sure if I should switch contact applications on my Galaxy S24 Ultra?

Hello! I was able to replicate this bug on my S24U as well. It seems like Contacts only wants to save lists located directly on the device or SIM. I found a workaround. From the contacts lists, find "Custom list" at the bottom>select the Google account you want>tap Done. When you exit and reenter the app, you should still see that custom list you just made.

Ok the custom list will work for now. Is there any plans on pushing out an update to the contacts app to the newer version that the Galaxy S23 Ultra is running 15.1.82. Or possibly a newer version with added features?

I have an issue right now with when asked to "choose a default account for new contacts". I get asked every time when I add a new contact. No default is ever set. If I install Google contacts and go to settings and try to choose a default account, I press the button and nothing happens. Nothing changes. I have a new S24 plus. When I compare to my old S22 plus the default can be changed just fine. Can you help?

The same issue with mine.. also S24+... no solution found?!
Also, the contact storage uses a large amount of battery power all the time, which is super frustrating!!!

This is a partial solution. You have to go back and reassign a contact as a favorite.. pain in the neck. That will be followed with what looks like recent contacts but not necessarily main contacts and I'm not even sure if you can designate groups again or not. Just aggravating and stupid
