Is there a way I can just view my most-frequently-used contacts?
The only way you can do this is to create a new category by which to sort contacts. You can name the new
category “Everyday” or “Frequently-Used”, or something else (we’ll use Frequently-Used in this discussion).
Then edit each contact you want in this “Frequently-Used” view so they are assigned to the Frequently-Used
category. To view just this category of names, open the Menu and select Frequently-Used.
Note: You can assign only one category to a contact. This means, for example, if you have a sister that you
want in the “Family” category, but also want to see in your “Frequently-Used” category view, you’ll have to pick
one category or the other, not both.
