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

It's terrible it goes over your screen. Can't move it out of the wayHello there, I have a pixel 6A. I've have all the new downloads my phone will ring sometimes and other times it won't. The interface that comes up is different. There's two interfaces that come up. There's one that takes up the whole screen and then there's the little one that comes up at the top. While I'm on the phone, some slide slide outs on the right bottom of the screen and I can't move it.

This app worked fine for years, but not anymore. On my Pixel 5, it has now started to lock my screen (black) as soon as I make (or answer) a call. I have no access to the keypad, nor the mute button, nor the speakerphone button... I can't even end the call. The only way to regain access is to hit the power button. FIX THIS! Update 4/23/24: Have rebooted my phone multiple times, cleared the app's cache, and uninstalled/reinstalled the app updates. Screen still goes black as soon as call is made

I'm going to try it again last time I didn't see any call screening features any Visual Voicemail features or spam protection it just worked as it always did I did not see any of the new advertised features maybe they weren't available at the time or maybe they're just for pixels. (After response) And still I see nothing special about this it looks like a regular dialing app. Samsung has so many more options and settings.

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.
