Pixel VIP widget
Users may designate friends and family as VIPs using the Contacts app's new Pixel VIPs widget. To accompany the list, users may enter details like home addresses, emails, and birthdays. The function provides quick access to contacts, recent messages and calls, birthday notifications, and more. Additionally, VIPs are permitted to bypass your Do Not Disturb settings.
Personalised stickers
In Gboard, users may create personalised stickers using Pixel Studio, which is driven by generative AI. To send the sticker, simply put in your prompt and choose an emotion. Additionally, there are readily available variations, such as a happy jelly avocado, a dejected starfish with sunglasses, glittery blue trainers, etc. Stickers can also be made from photographs.
