OnePlus: Choose Which Contacts Are Displayed

If your OnePlus phone shows every saved number in one giant list, work contacts and personal ones end up jumbled together. This happens because the Contacts app pulls entries from every linked account and group by default, with nothing filtered out. Sorting this out keeps the list focused on the people you actually need to see.

Choose Which Contacts Are Displayed auf OnePlus

On OnePlus phones running OxygenOS, the Contacts app merges entries from every source by default: your Google Account, the phone's internal storage, and any SIM card. If you keep separate groups for work and personal contacts, this merged view makes it hard to find anyone quickly.

The fix is a display filter built into the Contacts app itself. It lets you pick exactly which accounts and categories show up in your contact list, without deleting or moving any entries. Contacts you hide stay saved, they just stop appearing until you switch them back on.

How to filter your contact list

Follow this path: Open the Contacts appOpen the menuTap on Customize viewSelect CustomizeChoose an accountSelect or deselect one or more categoriesTap on Save.

Each account can be filtered independently. If you use both a Google Account and local phone storage, repeat the process for each one to control what shows up from every source.

This setting only changes what is visible in the app. It does not sync deletions, remove labels, or affect who can call or message you.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Deselecting a category under Customize view only hides those contacts from the list. Calls, texts, and caller ID still work exactly as before.
