Knowing your important emails and conversation on Gmail was practically done by starring it, a feature Gmail has for years. Now, Google’s mail client will bring you starred Google Contacts.
This feature has been around for Android devices already and it was nice to know that such feature will be incorporated with Gmail. As you starred the contact on Gmail, it will be automatically placed into the “Starred” group for quick access. A seamless experience awaits Android users as the starred contacts will sync with your phone, so starring a contact on your phone will show up on Gmail, and vice-versa.
Be sure to use your Google account to take advantage of this feature and more. It’s important to keep your contacts backed-up to the cloud.
