Android internally has quite interesting functions, one of them is to be able to find sites within our contact list. We do not need anything more than the Contacts application, available in almost any model with this operating system, if you don't have it, you need to download it.
By activating a parameter it is possible to find places thanks to the fact that we have the Google Maps app, one of the best tools in the case of finding points quickly. It will let us find the phone numbers of those sites and thus get in touch directly by number.
How to find places and place numbers
If we want to find them we have to activate an option within the «Contacts» application, It will vary depending on the manufacturer and the model you have. In the case of being an older version, it will be called differently, but it is just as practical if you want to find that establishment.
To activate the option and find that store, restaurant or place you have to make the following settings:
- Enter the Contacts application
- In the upper right, click on the three vertical points
- Click on Settings / Settings to enter the internal options of the app
- Now click on Nearby Places / Nearby Places and it will ask you to choose an email, in this case select yours
- It will ask you to access with your email, if it asks for the password, put the same one and wait for it to load
- Now in the search bar put something you want to find, if you want to eat a hamburger put «hamburger», if you prefer to eat another dish put it and wait for the results from nearby places
- It will provide you with the telephone number of those places to call, as well as the location if you prefer to go to the site exactly with the Google Maps app
This will give us the option to choose several places when we do not know where to go.We will also know the opening and closing hours, the telephone number, the address and even the business reviews. Very interesting when wanting to locate a trustworthy site with family or friends.
The best thing is to refine the search, we can find places near our location and it will also give the option of being able to cover more kilometers in the search if there is not a restaurant in your area of that type of food. Contacts is quite a powerful tool Although it is believed that it is only to save names and numbers.
