  "account": "A recent survey has revealed that the majority of Google Pixel users remain unaware of a feature that has been available for over a year. The poll, conducted among 1,545 respondents, found that nearly 79% of those asked had never heard of Pixel VIPs. Despite the feature's existence, only a small fraction of users - 7% - have reported using Pixel VIPs regularly, while 14% expressed interest in giving the feature a try. Google first introduced Pixel VIPs as part of their June 2025 Pixel Feature Drop, allowing users to elevate certain contacts to a prominent spot on the home screen through a dedicated widget. However, despite this upgrade, a significant number of users remain oblivious to the feature's existence.",
