Ratings and reviews

I like the improvements to the UI, but I've had a lot of functionality issues over the last year. The caller ID not showing up all time is annoying, but the voicemail syncing is just non existent. I'll get a notification 20 hours later that I received a new voicemail. most of the time that I click "play" on a message it says it can't be retrieved. It's been a long time that it's been going on, and other Pixel users I know have said the same thing. PLEASE FIX!

The new update is confusing! when I bring up my contacts it opens with history calls, not my contact list. I had trouble the first time, after the update, finding my contact list. I had extreme trouble navigating the system at first. Now I can find my full list but I am not a fan of the update. The one I liked best was when I first opened the app. It brought up the full list of all contacts. then at the top of that list it had buttons you could click on custom made categories.

The "help us improve" message AFTER EVERY CALL is annoying. If you use your phone for something else during a call you have to swipe three times and hope that you find the"end call" button. This is so stupid. You can improve your product by stopping these annoying prompts. There was no issue why are you asking me this? It was a friggin phone call.

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.
