- Code within the latest WhatsApp beta suggests that Google could integrate WhatsApp into the upcoming Pixel Besties feature.
- The “Pixel Besties” feature could centralize your calls and messages from your favorite contacts in one spot.
- Recently, the “Pixel Besties” feature has been internally referred to as just “VIPs,” though it remains unknown what the feature will finally be called upon its public release.
Many of us use our phones to communicate regularly and frequently with a handful of people, like family, friends, and coworkers. However, this communication can span several messaging and even social media apps, so it can get tedious to keep track of it. Google has been spotted working on a solution that prioritizes the most important people in your life through an upcoming “Pixel Besties/VIPs” feature. With WhatsApp v2.25.3.22 beta, we’ve spotted clues that indicate that the IM app could integrate support for this VIPs feature.
