WhatsApp could be among the first to support Google’s ‘Pixel Besties’ feature

Google is developing a feature called "Pixel Besties" to consolidate conversations from various messaging applications into a single interface. It is expected to debut with the upcoming Pixel QPR update, with WhatsApp likely being the first third-party app to participate. The feature may be part of a dedicated application called "Pixel Relationship," which could include a home screen widget for easy access. Users will be able to curate a list of important contacts, and all interactions with designated "Pixel Besties" will be aggregated in one space. The latest beta version of WhatsApp suggests a central hub for this feature, supported by a new API for communication between apps. Initially, it will integrate data from Google Messages and WhatsApp, with potential future additions from other platforms like Messenger.

Skype goes ad-free, which is unusual for Microsoft

Microsoft has released an ad-free update for Skype, version 8.125.76.201, which removes all advertisements from the platform. The update introduces AI-driven functionalities, including a revamped AI image creation experience, but does not restore the previously available "Split View" feature. Users have expressed frustration over the lack of this feature, which allowed them to manage conversations and their contact list separately. Microsoft has announced that older versions of Skype, which still support Split View, will be retired by September 15, 2024. The Split View feature was removed in 2023 due to performance issues and has not been reinstated despite user demand.
