Google’s Contacts app appears to offer new clues about HiLight, a hardware notification system expected on Pixel 11 Pro phones. The feature is designed to bring notifications beyond the display through a dedicated light built into the device.
Earlier reports indicated that HiLight would work with a user’s contacts, but the exact connection had not been clear. Information found in Google Contacts now points to the app playing a role in how the system recognizes or handles contact-related alerts.
The available details do not yet provide a complete explanation of HiLight’s settings or behavior. However, the Contacts integration suggests that Pixel 11 Pro users may be able to associate the notification light with people in their address book when the feature launches.
