Unable to edit Contacts

[jopoor]

I do not know whether to fault Samsung or Android for being unable to edit Contacts. When a Contact is selected, there is no Edit icon shown at the top or the bottom of the screen. Pulling down the Menu shows Edit as the top choice, but tapping Edit takes me to a Select Contacts page.

I have screen images, but have not figured out how to post them here, all I get is a little square.

Should be three dots on upper right not exactly top select edit than little dots appear for contacts names etc. Select the one or ones to edit

Nope, doesn't happen that way, the 3 dots are the Menu and Edit goes to Select Contacts.

Yea. And sometimes you may get a issue where if some of your contacts are samsung users to their images may not change because they have a image set for all samsung contacts to see them as. If that method doesnt work tap on the picture where the image show up at and see what it does

Have not come across that issue, only interested in editing a Contact.

In order to edit a contact, you select the contact, and then tap the circled "i" on the far right. Once you tap that, you will be in the contact's info page where you can add/edit information.  the little edit pencil as at the bottom of the screen.  To add a photo to a post, if you are in the app, tap the + next to the text field and select your image.  From the website, tap the camera icon at the top of the text field.

Thank you. Google/Android has taken a capability that was immediately available and buried/hidden it in a less than obvious menu.

If you keep your contacts in Google, you can also edit via the website contacts.google.com. This option is best utilized on computer.

I recently found that I do not have the edit option available for many of my contacts. If I open the contacts in the contacts app, the edit option is gone. All I can do is delete, block, share, and see the storage location.

Most of my contacts are stored in my samsung account, and I cannot edit any of these or figure out how to transfer them to my Googme account instead. I've tried syncing contacts. I've tried finding options to move. I've tried finding a way to access this storage location. Nothing is working. I've looked this up online, and the only "advice" I've seen is to edit in contacts, which clearly I cannot. 

I'm getting frustrated and don't want to potentially lose all of these contacts by restoring my phone or have to recreate every single one to save to Google. Any advice would be appreciated!
