Introducing Google’s Official Phone Calling App


Google’s official phone calling app is now available for download for the first time. This app 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


With Google’s Phone app, you can:



  • Receive warnings about suspicious callers to 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, allowing you to answer with confidence.

No More Waiting on Hold


The Hold for Me feature lets you go back to your day. If a business puts you on hold, Google Assistant can wait on the line for you and notify you when someone is ready to talk.

Screen Unknown Callers


With Call Screen, unknown callers are answered and filtered, allowing you to learn more about callers you don’t recognize before you pick up.

Visual Voicemail


Check your messages without needing to call your voicemail. You can:



  • View and play messages in any order

  • Read transcriptions

  • Delete or save messages right from the app

Call Recording


Record your phone calls to capture important information for reference later. Everyone hears a disclosure when the recording starts, ensuring they're aware, and recordings are saved on your phone.

Intuitive Design


The app features a simple, lightweight design that keeps your favorite people just a tap away. You can also switch to dark mode to save battery and reduce eye strain at night.

Emergency Support


When making an emergency call, you can:



  • See your current location

  • Share information about the assistance you require, along with your location, to the emergency operator without speaking

Availability


The Phone app is available on most Android devices running Android™ 9.0 and above, and it is also available for Wear OS.
