"Contacts do display" option where?

[Prel!m]

Hi guys,

Bought a A2 Lite yesterday and on the dial contacts I can't find the option of "Contacts to display" like I'm used to find in all android phones, and also working on Xiaomi A1/A2.

Where is the option? On the google contacts app I can choose on my left dashboard to show only some contacts, but it doesn't affect the contacts showing on the dial app

Both dialer and contacts are standard Google apps. Perhaps you are used to some other vendor's apps? You can get alternatives from the play store.

Google Dialer has favourites, which is a subset of contacts you select (plus recent contacts you've called). That sounds like what you are describing?

Do you have a A2 Lite to see this issue?

I know they're Google apps but it should have a "Contacts do display" option, as present on A1/A2 phones. Adding to the Favorite list one by one (I have about 250 contacts that I need to add) is insane!! Or can we select several contacts to the Favorite List at once? (can't find it)

Yes. I have the latest stock pie. The dialer and contacts apps have had many, many updates since I got the phone. I couldn't tell you if the feature was previously present or not.

If you have labels in contacts there's a choice to customize view and select a label. Maybe that's what happened to the feature?

I'm also on Pie (latest update) and have labels on my Google contacts (I have a label created for the SIM contacts that I usually use on my android phones). As I said, I can select to show only that label on the "Contacts" but not on the "Dial contacts"
