Nougat Update i lost the Favorites tab for contacts on my S7. Help!

[sfz5]

I updated my Samsung 7 to the newest operating system.
I dont like it at all.
My biggest gripe: I used to be able to push the calling app and had 3 tabs:
Recent
Favorites - which was a Grid with contact photos
Contacts.

I very badly need my Favorites. It is so tedious now to go to Contacts and scroll DOWN to get to favorites and the pictures are so much smaller.

I would appreciate any advice.

What used to be 2 screen touches with the old favorite tab is now 5 or 6. Unacceptable. . Why do I HAVE to get updates? This sucks.

I have an S6 and had the same problem. Figured out that if you go to the contact specifically, there is a GRAY STAR by the contact name you can select. The star then turns yellow and is now a "favorite". Once you get out to main contact menu, a new "Favorite" section is right at the top with that first contact.

you need to add your contacts to your device and not to your sim card that i think very stupid.

Only took me a few minutes to figure this out.

Go to contact and select a contact you wish to remove or add to your Favorite Contacts. (Which is now called "Starred in Android" btw)

Now, go to edit contact (top right)
Go down to groups and select it.
From there you will see a list of group options you can assign your contact to. At the bottom of the list you will see "Starred in Android"
Select that and that contact is now added or removed from the Favorite Contacts, as which it was.

Hope this helped!
