Change who’s saved & suggested as contacts
You’ll see contacts suggested in some Google services, like when you start typing someone’s name in a new email in Gmail. You can control who gets saved and suggested as a contact.
Who shows up as suggestions
Suggestions are based on a variety of signals related to your contacts and interactions, such as a contact being starred or if you’ve emailed a contact recently. Suggested contacts include people you’ve added to your contacts.People you’ve interacted with in Google services are automatically saved to "Other contacts."
In some apps, like Gmail or Photos, you may see suggested contacts before typing or searching for anything.
Tips:
- You can stop automatically saving contacts at any time.
- You can touch and hold on suggestions and hide them.
