I do not know whether to fault Samsung or Android for being unable to edit Contacts. When a Contact is selected, there is no Edit icon shown at the top or the bottom of the screen. Pulling down the Menu shows Edit as the top choice, but tapping Edit takes me to a Select Contacts page.

I have screen images, but have not figured out how to post them here, all I get is a little square.

In order to edit a contact, you select the contact, and then tap the circled "i" on the far right. Once you tap that, you will be in the contact's info page where you can add/edit information.  the little edit pencil as at the bottom of the screen.  To add a photo to a post, if you are in the app, tap the + next to the text field and select your image.  From the website, tap the camera icon at the top of the text field.

Nope, doesn't happen that way, the 3 dots are the Menu and Edit goes to Select Contacts.

Yea. And sometimes you may get a issue where if some of your contacts are samsung users to their images may not change because they have a image set for all samsung contacts to see them as. If that method doesnt work tap on the picture where the image show up at and see what it does

Thank you. Google/Android has taken a capability that was immediately available and buried/hidden it in a less than obvious menu.

If you keep your contacts in Google, you can also edit via the website contacts.google.com. This option is best utilized on computer.
