Hi AC,

I can't find the favourites Star in Galaxy S9 contacts?
I've read about the star, not visible so far, is there a different way w/this phone?
Pic shows 3 dot screen options, no star?
(Edit: While in Contacts: Q?: Can the colour icons denoting contact be changed to a picture.
Available in my previous Galaxy S7 Note?)

Thankyou,
Cheers Ruby :cool:

Edit: When scrolling, index appears on right, There is a star at top, I gather is for favourites?
As it's empty, nothing happens when I tap the star, just shows a green star.

The pic shows options when contact is open. There's no star next to their name & nothing in 3 dots.
I wish that was the option mustang7757... Thanks :)

So make sure you choose default storage for contact, i have Google as mine .
If you have these contact saved with numbers from Skype, telegram etc.. but phone number not under their name it will not show the star next to the name to choose as favorite. 20200714_231833.jpeg

Hi mustang,
apologies for my delay, real world nuts last few days.
I usually just save to ph. I'll change that to google, ty.

I did notice adding a New contact has the star. Once a contact there's no star option anywhere obvious.
(May haveto delete & re add.) It just seems a really odd prob for something so common)
Thanks again for your help, have some sorting to do ;)

I FOUND IT :) If you edit the contact and then scroll down to groups, change the group and select "starred in android"

Thankyou Nurrvillian :)

I also just found a way, trying your way. Star on new contacts shows when info icon is opened. I still can't find in contacts, unless I remove & add as new. Such a simple expectation & no simple solution. Cheers (Y)
