TL;DR<\/p>\n
Pixel phones already let you set custom ringtones<\/a> for individual contacts, but Google could be preparing to take things further. Code hidden in the latest version of the Google Contacts app suggests you\u2019ll eventually be able to assign vibration patterns to specific people, so you\u2019ll know who\u2019s calling even when your phone\u2019s in silent mode.<\/p>\n The discovery comes from version 4.63.22.800982376 of Google Contacts, where we spotted new strings referencing vibration names and combinations with ringtones. Phrases like \u201cVibration_name\u201d for specific contacts hint at the ability to pair unique haptics with existing ringtones for that person. We also spotted references in the Java code, though we couldn\u2019t enable the feature in testing. Check out the clues we found below.<\/p>\n Code<\/p>\n Copy TextDefault Vibration
This wouldn\u2019t be the first time Google has played with custom vibrations on Pixel. Back in January, we spotted a Pixel Sounds update in testing<\/a> that adds a dedicated \u201cVibrations\u201d tab, offering more than a dozen patterns for ringtones and notifications. Bringing contact-specific haptics into Contacts would tie neatly into that system.<\/p>\n Custom vibrations can be handy if your phone spends most of its time on vibrate in your pocket, or if you\u2019re in a noisy environment. A unique buzz from your partner or boss can tell you who\u2019s calling without pulling your phone out, giving you a subtle indication of whether the call is worth answering.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t want to miss the best from Android Authority?<\/strong><\/p>\n If this launches, it would bring Google in line with rivals. Apple not only supports contact-specific vibrations but also lets you create your own patterns. Samsung\u2019s One UI<\/a> also lets you set different vibration styles for calls from individual contacts. Implementation on Pixel may focus on choosing from the existing Sounds app library rather than making new ones from scratch.<\/p>\n Given that these tweaks are only in testing, it\u2019s possible the feature won\u2019t roll out, or not for some time, at least. We\u2019ll keep an eye out for it going live.<\/p>\n
