Pixel VIPs 2.0 redesign starts rolling out with fullscreen look
9to5google.com • • general
Key Points:
- Pixel VIPs 2.0 is rolling out following last week’s Feature Drop, introducing several changes beyond the widget redesign.
- The contact widget now opens a fullscreen layout instead of a bottom sheet, which may affect one-handed usability as call and message shortcuts are no longer near the bottom.
- New features include a pencil icon for quick edits in Google Contacts, outline-style icons for communication buttons, and repositioning of sections like “Local updates” and “Notes.”
- A new pill-shaped switcher allows users to quickly toggle between VIP contacts without returning to the homescreen.
- While the full widget redesign is not yet live, a preview shows space for quick actions to call and message directly from the widget, and the update is being widely distributed via the Play Store.
