Google is set to preview a new version of Google Contacts that will facilitate the service. TechTimes notes, out of the numerous Google products such as Chrome, Maps, Calendar, Search, Google+, Hangout and Gmail, people probably use at least a few of them. The new platform available in preview form, Google Contacts, will centralize all your contacts from various Google applications into one place.

Google released a preview of the new Google Contacts on the Official Gmail Blog. The new Google Contacts makes it simpler to keep track of known people and also get the info a user need. The new Google Contacts sports a fresh look and feel and makes pooling all your contact together, a piece of cake.

Mashable noted that the new Google Contacts will facilitate users to find connections and keep contact information up-to-date. In order to create a more streamlined experience, contact information will be synced across Google+ and Gmail. Not only that, Google Contacts will automatically pull in information such as job titles, addresses and phone numbers from your contacts Google+ profiles.

Product manager Sean Purcell announced the upgrade on the official Gmail Blog. Although Google Contacts is only available in desktop, Purcell says they hope to release a mobile app version soon.

The announcement follows head of products Sundar Pichai's announcement at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona on Monday that Google+ may well be broken up into the sum of its parts. It's no surprise that Google+ has largely been regarded as a flop, Pichai however claims Google+ was successful at making users to login before using a Google product. The search engine giant has personalized its product to each user, and, of course, collect personal data in the wake of the spread of Google account.
