If you can’t find your contacts in Gmail anymore that’s because they’ve moved them – to absolutely no logical or obvious location at all. You’d have to be a frikkin’ mystic to find them:

But here’s where they are:

On your main email screen where you have the big button ‘COMPOSE’ just above there is a graphic that says ‘Gmail’ with a dropdown menu – stealthily hidden there is a menu item that says ‘Contacts’

All the best
