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.

Also available for Wear OS.

Edit: It's been a while since I've noticed issues with WiFi calling. Solid performance for at least a year now. Thanks for whatever app improvements since my last review. - - - WiFi calling continues to be problematic, but have seen it work flawlessly on occasion. Need to toggle WiFi off/on or leave off for me to hear the other party. Happens whether I dial or answer a call. Otherwise, the app works great. The call monitoring transcribe feature of a call I haven't answered yet is very good.

Hi, Lee. Let's try resetting the app data. Please refer to "Clear the app's cache" section by clicking the following link: https://goo.gl/gX7ctA. Also, make sure that your audio is working and the volume on your phone is turned up. Hope this helps.

The call screen is broken even when I see the screen in real time. Obviously, I can't hear it, but I can see it in text and I'll decline it because it's spam or something, or I can't understand the text. When I try to review the call so I can hear the audio, the audio from the person that called is missing and any text is gone except for Gemini's intro. I uninstalled the updates so it will work properly hopefully anyway. EDIT: No clearing the cache/app data doesn't work. I tried that already.

Hi Benjamin. Have a look at this guide on how Call Screening works: goo.gle/2ysrXf3. Let's try resetting the app data. More information, please refer to "Clear the app's cache" section by clicking the following link: https://goo.gle/4leWgsg. You can submit feedback within the Phone app by clicking the Menu button > Support > Send Feedback. Thanks.

Major flaw: When you place a call on hold there is no easy way to get back into the call. Calls get moved to another screen. Also, when you go to Contacts within the app you are really just getting a call log. I uninstalled it and went back to True Phone. That's a deal-breaker. I uninstalled this app and went back to True Phone. Phone by Google isn't ready for prime time.

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.
