To group people into your own list, open "Contacts" → "My lists" and tap "Create list". Besides the built-in categories, you can make any lists you like: "Coworkers", "Neighbors", "Tuesday yoga", whatever works for you. Only you can see your lists.
Why bother? Once you have lots of contacts, lists help you find the right people quickly instead of scrolling through everyone.
How to create a contact list?
- Open "Contacts" → the "My lists" tab.
- Tap "Create list", give it a name, and tap "Save".
- Open the list and tap "Add contacts".
You can also add someone to a list from their card in your contacts: three dots → "User lists" → "Add to list".
How to edit or delete a list?
In the list menu, you'll find:
- "Rename";
- "Add contacts";
- "Delete list": the list itself disappears, but the people in it stay in your contacts.
To remove someone from a list, open the list, tap the three dots next to them, and choose "Remove from list".
