- “Besties” in Contacts may soon give you a new way to identify your closest friends.

<string name="supporting_text_menu_besties">View your recent communications and memories with your favorite people</string>The Pixel Besties feature could seemingly make it easier to view your communication history with the people who matter the most to you. We hope to learn more about the feature in the future as the functionality gets built.
