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.

Ratings and reviews

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.

Using on a Sony Xperia Pro I. Any facial movement during calls triggers a screw up with other apps launching, muting, the phone app becoming a small round insert that I can never figure out how to make into the main screen again, a total mess. Most of the time I'm forced to use either the speaker or a Bluetooth headset just to make calls. As a phone/app combo, it's just plain horrible. On another note, why-oh-why isn't there a "keep dialing until the number I'm trying to reach is available"?

Most of the time I don't get get my call till the next day. poor signal. No success in getting help. made numerous calls to tracphone. very hard to hear and understand, due to language barrier. you would think they would at least hire one English speaking service tech. I suppose it's because I have the free plan due to being disabled and low income. So unless you do not need notification of a call or text till the next day. I would not recommend.

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.
