Google pushed its ever-so-popular material theme to the Google Contacts at the start of last year which meant that users lost access to the old Google Contacts interface and with it, one of the most useful features available on the service. The new Contacts web UI lost the ability to add multiple contacts using different names and email IDs.
Fast forward to the present day, the Moutain View company has finally restored the feature and now you can create multiple contacts, import them using vCard or CSV files, and also opt to label them individually.
