IOS Spotlight search for, then edit a contact

contactsiosiphone

I can't for the life of me understand how, in iOS 10.3.1, I do what I've done many times before iOS 9/10, namely:

  1. Spotlight search for a contact
  2. Then edit that contact

This is what I see:

best search hit

Best search hit

selecting the contact

Cancel, Notes, Share Contact

I.e. no way to edit nor to view it in the contacts app. I don't have 3D Touch.

From your second screenshot, 3D Touch on the profile photo, then tap on the name at the top of the popup to open the contact in Contacts.app.

Without 3D Touch, this is not possible. To search contacts, you can use the Search bar at the top of the Contacts or Phone apps.
