Is it true? I see no option to add contacts. Can this be added?

Yes, there is no such feature in both the mobile and desktop versions. You can request it here. For privacy reasons, you are supposed not to reuse addresses; that's why some people might not be in favour of your idea.

The desktop app does have contacts. It's in the Wallet/Contact menu where you can add a contacts (I.e just mean add an address and give it a name).  You can then enable the contact tab in "view" menu

You're right! Sorry about that; I have never had to use such a feature. The mobile version is inferior to the desktop one; it is missing some features like testnet, coin control and message signing and it looks like it is also the case for contacts. As I wrote above, you can request that feature on their Github. I highly doubt that it will be added any time soon since there are other important features missing.

I had fiddled with my android Electrum and found nothing.
I guess all you can do is to post it in Electrum's Github repository (spesmilo/electrum) as "feature request" and see if the devs will add contact list to the android version.

It's very useful if you need to send coins over and over again to the same addresses. They could be people or could be your addresses for various exchange sites. or they could even be addresses of your cold wallets.

Adding contacts does not necessarily mean that you'll add a single address.

There are already some good approaches for that. For example BIP47: Reusable Payment Codes. Samourai is already utilizing it calling it PayNym.
This could be integrated into electrum allowing to add contacts without reusing addresses or harming the privacy.
