About this app

Google’s official phone calling app is now available to download for the first time. Phone helps you easily connect with family and friends, block spam callers, and know who’s calling before you answer – all with a simple, intuitive design.

Powerful spam protection
See warnings about suspicious callers that help you avoid unwanted calls from spammers, telemarketers and scammers. Block numbers to prevent them from calling you again.

Know who’s calling you
Google’s extensive caller ID coverage lets you know the business that’s calling so that you can answer with confidence.

No more waiting on hold 1, 5
Hold for Me lets you go back to your day. If a business puts you on hold, Google Assistant can wait on the line for you and let you know when someone is ready to talk.

Screen unknown callers 1, 2
Call Screen answers unknown callers, filters out detected spammers without interrupting you, and helps you learn more about callers you don’t recognize before you pick up.

Visual voicemail 1, 3
Check your messages without needing to call your voicemail – view and play them in any order, read transcriptions, and delete or save them right from the app.

Call recording 1
Record your phone calls to capture important information for reference later. Everyone hears a disclosure when the recording starts so they’re aware, and recordings are saved on your phone.

Intuitive design
Our simple, lightweight design keeps your favorite people just a tap away. Plus, switch to dark mode to save battery and reduce eye strain at night.

Emergency support 1, 4
See your current location when you make an emergency call, and share information about the assistance you require, along with your location, to the emergency operator without speaking.

Phone app is available on most Android devices running Android 9.0 and above.

Also available for Wear OS.

Switched from an iPhone because this one was a freebie from Spectrum. Well, I still have the iPhone because I still prefer it until I can get the hang of this. It takes great pictures, and I'm starting to get the jist, but haven't tried Gemini yet. The sound quality is also awesome. Four Stars because of the learning curve, and some functions are so similarly started, sometimes I open the wrong function... but still a cool phone.

Pretty much does what it says it will. My only issues are with apps that are in support and the fact that most of the settings for the phone are blacked out. I can't turn on or off notifications and I have to use something like do not disturb or just mute sounds all together in order to turn on or off the ring. Another issue I have occasionally is people have trouble hearing me

Hi, Tony. Let's try resetting the app data. Please refer to "Clear the app's cache" section by clicking the following link: https://goo.gl/gX7ctA. Also, make sure that your audio is working and the volume on your phone is turned up. Hope this helps.

Very disappointed that the functionality has gone down through time. Most notably, the ability to search for a phone number by typing in the name of a business. Used to be able to do this and very much appreciated that feature. Now that feature has been removed and searching for a phone number requires additional (unnecessary) steps. Beyond that, no major issues.

What's new


With our latest update to Call Screen on Pixel devices in the US, the Google Assistant now helps you automatically screen unknown callers and filter out detected robocalls before your phone ever rings. And when it’s not a robocall, your phone rings a few moments later with helpful context about who is calling and why.
