Ratings and reviews

The call history track is the worst because in other apps like the Samsung phone, the Redmi phone apps are quite better than the Google phone app. Because they show the call history period since when I bought the phone or started the phone, even for plenty of months. But this Google phone is not showing a call history record for even a one-month period. Very worst, and its auto-call recording system also has a disclaimer or beep sound, which is not available in their competitors.

I really appreciate this app to be default dialer app in almost every phone perhaps the major drawback of this app is that it doesn't work well with call recording option and there is an notification sound which is known by the opposite party while we record the call. I'm really disappointed this issue is not taken so seriously by them. And let me know you that call recording option is really nesscessary for us in our daily life I hope they do improvise in the future.

I have been using Google dialer for more than 3 years. Eventhough the call recordering feature is limited I hung on to this dialer as the bubble feature during phone calls was very much helpful while I'm doing multitasking. Now I can't use the bubble feature also. I don't know whether this issue is from my end or it was removed during the update. If it was removed during the update, please bring it back or else I don't have any other option but to switch to alternate dailer apps.

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.
