Google Contacts testing a separate section to manage all of your contacts' ringtones

Google Contacts testing a separate section to manage all of your contacts’ ringtones،

Google Contacts is testing a new feature that will make managing your contacts’ ringtones easier than ever. Instead of scrolling through menus, you’ll soon have a dedicated section where you can set and preview ringtones for all your contacts.

As noted by the team of GApps Flags and Leaks channel on Telegram, version 4.22.37.586680692 of the Google Contacts app features a new ringtone section that consolidates everything into a single, user-friendly interface. Simply select a contact, browse available ringtones and preview your chosen ringtone with a single tap. This new section also integrates your existing custom ringtones, ensuring that your notification sounds continue to reflect your preferences.

This feature is however still under development and is not yet active unless certain indicators are changed in the application. The public version of Google Contacts still requires you to open an individual contact and set a specified ringtone for that person or company. Once this feature is finalized, you will be able to manage all contacts’ ringtones from the “Fix & Manage > Ringtones” menu in the app and list all the contacts for whom you have set a custom ringtone in one convenient place.

This change comes at exactly the right time, as Google is working hard to make RCS as feature-rich as iMessage with a host of new updates announced yesterday. These new RCS features are being rolled out to celebrate RCS reaching one billion active monthly users worldwide. So it makes perfect sense that the accompanying Contacts app would also receive some improvements.

Part of the improvements announced yesterday included the introduction of “Profiles” linked to the Contacts app and allowing users to customize the profile name and photo associated with their phone number. This will help users set an identity in Google services that can be saved in the People app and linked to your phone number in these group chats.
