OnePlus: Add a Contact to Favourites

Calling the same person over and over means scrolling through your whole contact list every time on your OnePlus phone. Marking that contact as a favourite pins it to the top of the Contacts app, so you skip the search entirely. It is a quick fix if you keep hunting for the same few names.

Add Contact to Favourites auf OnePlus

Calling or texting the same contact several times a day usually means opening the Contacts app and scrolling past dozens of names to find the right one. OxygenOS lets you pin frequently used contacts to a dedicated Favourites section, so the entry shows up right at the top instead of buried in the alphabetical list.

To mark a contact, go to Open the Contacts appChoose a contactTap on Favourite. A star icon appears next to the name once the contact is saved as a favourite, and tapping it again removes the contact from that list.

Favourites work independently from speed dial or home screen shortcuts. Marking someone as a favourite only changes where they appear inside the Contacts app; it does not create a widget or alter call settings.

If you want a shortcut directly on your home screen instead of inside the Contacts app, a contact widget or direct dial shortcut is the better option. Use favourites when you regularly search for the same handful of people inside the Contacts or Phone app and want them grouped together at the top.

Frequently asked questions

Open the contact profile again and tap the same Favourite star. It toggles off immediately and the entry moves back into the regular alphabetical list.
