Typically this app performs well. It's a phone app, so if it allows me to accept and make calls, I'm happy. However, this recent update broke my voicemail. After updating the voicemail icon on the bottom right of the screen completely disappeared. No amount of clearing the cache resolved this. Neither did deleting and reinstalling the app. Going into Apps under Settings and clicking the three dots in the upper right hand corner allowed me to uninstall the update. Problem solved. Please fix.

Its a phone. It makes and receives calls. it has modern features like "touch tone" dial, recent calls, contacts, and even voicemail. If your looking for a phone to use on your phone, that comes with your phone, and can't really be uninstalled of you don't, then this is definitely the one.

This app already was on my phone so I set it up. Nokia g300 btw. I was very excited to have the call screen on my phone, problem is it doesn't work properly. I don't have the ability to use some settings in fact some settings that should be there are not, the automatically record transcripts setting isn't there. When someone calls they do get the Google call screen but when they talk I don't see any transcripts of what they are saying at all. I can send stuff back and u hear it but no return.

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 itās not a robocall, your phone rings a few moments later with helpful context about who is calling and why.
