About Phone by Google
Phone by Google app is now available for download, offering a simple and intuitive way to connect with loved ones, block spam callers, and identify callers before you answer.
Powerful spam protection
Receive warnings about suspicious callers, helping you avoid unwanted calls from spammers, telemarketers, and scammers. Block numbers to prevent them from calling again.
Know who’s calling
Google’s extensive caller ID coverage lets you see the business calling, enabling you to answer with confidence.
Eliminate hold time
Hold for Me lets you reclaim your time. 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
Call Screen automatically answers unknown callers, filters out detected spammers without interrupting you, and provides insights about callers you don’t recognize before you pick up.
Visual voicemail
Check your messages without calling voicemail. View and play them in any order, read transcriptions, and delete or save them directly from the app.
Call recording
Record phone calls to capture important information for future reference. Everyone hears a notification when recording starts, and recordings are saved on your phone.
Intuitive design
Our simple and lightweight design keeps your favorite contacts just a tap away. Plus, switch to dark mode to conserve battery and reduce eye strain at night.
Emergency support
View your current location when making an emergency call and share information about the assistance you require, along with your location, to the emergency operator without speaking.
