After analyzing the app files for the Google Phone app for Android v223.0.917442139, released on Thursday, May 21, 2026, we confirmed that resource code has been added for a new setting that allows users to show or hide “notification dots” for individual contacts.

<string name="notification_plots_title">Notification dots</string>
<string name="notification_plots_summary">Show notification dot for this contact</string>
<string name="notification_plots_title">通知ドット</string>
<string name="notification_plots_summary">この連絡先の通知ドットを表示する</string>

While the Google Phone app for Android has long included a setting to enable or disable “notification dots” for the app itself, there is currently no feature to toggle these dots on a per-contact basis. However, the newly discovered resource code suggests that this feature may be implemented in the future.
