Google gives the Pixel 11 Pro’s HiLight LED a much-needed feature
HiLight now supports messages with the latest Android 17 QPR2 beta.
Android 17 QPR2 Beta 6.1 introduces HiLight LED support for messages on Pixel devices. The HiLight LED, once marketed as a standout feature, was designed to glow when receiving a call or when Gemini is working in the background. However, its functionality has weakened the Pixel's flash. Google acknowledges the issue and is working to enhance the HiLight LED's usefulness for Pixel users.
With this Android update, users can expect the HiLight LED to glow more prominently when they receive messages from their favorite contacts. Despite not adding new colors, this update signifies progress in making the feature more valuable.
