Google Contacts App to Feature "Besties Widget" for Easy Access to Preferred Users

Google is working on a new feature for its Contacts app. The "Besties Widget" is designed to enable easy access to favored contacts.

This update is part of a continuous effort to improve the app and its features.

Google's new Besties widget

The widget is still under construction. It should behave similarly to the present "Favorite contacts" widget, but will only display the seven most often contacted ones.

Tapping on any individual contact displays full contact details, including contact information and recent interactions.

The new widget's app-level development may result in quicker upgrades than a system-level feature.

It's possible that this will eventually replace the default Android Conversations widget.

The Contacts app received a major update last week. They have worked to improve the widget experience.

For example, the Individual contact widget now displays notifications, making it easier to manage communications.

The "Besties Widget" is likely to show starred contacts. As work continues, it may eventually replace the current "Favourite contacts" widget.

Other updates on the Contacts App

Aside from the Google Contacts Besties Widget, the contacts app will receive other new features.

The Individual Contact widget can be adjusted to display easy actions for phoning or messaging.

This might be further expanded to provide connection with other Google services, such as Maps or Calendar.

It should be emphasized that this data represents current developments.

This will be the finished product. Google may add new functionality to the widget in the near future or change its design as they work on it.

The Contacts widget might offer users a more personalized method to easily access their preferred Contacts.

The details of this update will not be finalized until the new functionality is live.
