Google finally made Pixel VIPs useful, but it’s missing these 5 features

Google recently gave the Pixel VIPs widget a major upgrade, making it much more useful than when it first launched a year ago. The widget is now much more interactive, making it easier to reach the people you frequently contact, while the new full-screen layout lets you see more information about your favorite contacts in one place.

Compared to what Google originally introduced with Android 16, the Pixel VIPs experience has improved quite a lot with Android 17. But despite all these additions, I still think there are a few things Google could do to make the feature even better.
