Google’s Pixel VIPs redesign starts rolling out to users
Quicker VIP switching and a refreshed layout are now landing on Pixels.
Google is gradually introducing the redesigned Pixel VIPs experience, first announced alongside the September Pixel Drop event. The overhaul brings several enhancements to the VIP interface, including quicker VIP switching, a reorganized local updates section, and a refreshed design using Material 3 Expressive styling.
One of the most visible changes is the addition of a floating navigation strip at the bottom of the VIP page. This strip allows users to swipe between VIPs without needing to exit the widget first. Tapping an individual's profile picture in the strip instantly takes you to their VIP page. Additionally, a long-press on the navigation bar reveals left and right arrow buttons, providing another method to navigate through the list of VIPs.
Moreover, Google has eliminated the previous "Things to do together" recommendations section from the VIP interface.
