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 absolutely hate this app. everything about it is bad and i resent the fact that im forced to use it. the most egregious issue ive had with it is that i turned on "announce caller id" so i could hear who's calling in my headphones when im away from my phone and it straight up DOES NOT work. i restarted my phone and made sure the app was updated. its been months and it never works. what about visually impaired people? it's literally unacceptable for basic accessibility features to not work

Voicemail tab keeps disappearing. I don't know if it coincides with system updates. Google tried to claim I needed to contact my phone's manufacturer to fix it at one point, but the mfg's solution was a factory reset of phone, which wasn't an option for me due to work-related reasons. The tab reappeared again suddenly some days later, but now it's suddenly gone again.

I find it difficult to tell when an update is legitimate. My phone software changes when I haven't updated it and then in the playstore it will show an update even when I just updated it. I've also found multiple android devices in security section signed into my account. Your tips on how to secure an account don't work. The security threat landscape is too big for those things to work. many features claimed to be offered in app don't appear. I'm using Android 11. Time for you guys to fix this.

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.
