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'm just trying to make a phone call, but I have to close all three notifications that stop me from doing so. edit: popups, they're popups. Whether it's telling me about a new feature, how many calls it declined for me, asking who I called the other day (phishing for a name to put to the number), It's all unwelcome. Imagine needing to call emergency services and your phone has to talk to you before you're allowed to ☠️ The user experience is overly complex. K.I.S.S. no, not the band.

No longer can clear all call history at once. The "Recents" option after you touch the app icon is gone, so now the 3 dots after you touch it is also no longer available. I have to pull up each phone number in the list of calls, including those marked Spam, and delete each history manually. Please restore the "Recents" option and the 3-dot menu in the next update of this app. Thank you.

Pixel 9 Pro user - Incoming phone calls don't display whatsoever, however, the ringer works perfectly. So by the time I dig through multiple screens to answer the phone, the call is gone. It's apparent that some of these updates aren't vetted prior to pushing them out to the user since this isn't an isolated issue. Messaging features were goofed up too. C'mon Google, this is your platform, your phone, and your apps, get better at this or get out of the device business. It's getting old.

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.
