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.

I only have two complaints. The most annoying one is that I'm not able to turn off the feedback function because it's greyed out under notification settings, and the slider won't move if I open that specific notification setting or try to turn off the all notifications setting. The second complaint is that I can't turn off the top of screen banner setting for incoming calls. Ever since I turned it on the first time, if I turn it off, I don't get call notifications, just missed calls.

I still don't get over half my calls. Even ones in my contacts and a couple in my favorites. They go straight to my VM. I've been waiting for this to be fixed for over 3 years now over hundreds of app updates. This issue really would be the only thing that might hold me back from getting the Pixel 10 series or beyond. I am very disappointed because otherwise this pixel 7 pro has been one of my best phones ever.

Hi, Charles. Check out this guide about voicemail notifications (see "Voicemail notifications not working" section): https://goo.gle/2zPRsYc. If you are still experiencing issues, please submit feedback within the Phone app by tapping the three dot menu in the top right corner - Help & Feedback - Send Feedback. Thank you.

The worst phone application I have ever used! Half the time I try to call a number it will open dead air, then after 5 seconds to a minute, it just hangs up. It never actually dials the number! Edit to add: This has nothing to do with "connectivity issues." I have full signal. You just built a bad system.

Hi, Walter. Please check your cellular or Wi-Fi connection. The Wi-Fi or mobile data icon should have at least 1 bar. If you experience bad connectivity, move to a location with better connection. If you still have issues, submit feedback within the Phone app by clicking the Menu button then the 'Support' tab and tap 'Send Feedback'. Thanks!

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.
