Your Pixel has received a significant enhancement with the arrival of the June Pixel Drop, introducing a suite of new features and updates designed to elevate the user experience, making devices not only more helpful but also more personalized and accessible.
Alongside this upgrade, Android 16 is now being rolled out to Pixel devices, bringing with it an array of exciting capabilities.
1. Keep your loved ones even closer with Pixel VIPs.
In a world where connection is paramount, friends and family can now take center stage on your device with the innovative Pixel VIPs feature. Exclusively available on Pixel, this new widget from the Contacts app allows you to designate your nearest and dearest as VIPs, ensuring that you remain closely connected to those who matter most.
To maximize the Pixel VIPs experience, it is recommended to enrich each contact with as much information as possible, including:
- Birthdays
- Email addresses
- Home addresses
- Personal preferences
With this feature, you can easily access your last call and message interactions with your VIPs, including communications through WhatsApp. Additionally, you will have the ability to view their location when shared, receive timely updates for significant events such as birthdays, and more. Notably, VIPs can bypass the Do Not Disturb mode, ensuring that you remain reachable by those who are most important to you.
Rest assured, sensitive information—such as your call logs and message content—remains securely stored on your device, providing peace of mind while enhancing your connectivity.
