Phone by Google is a versatile utility application designed to enhance your calling experience. This free app offers a range of features, including call blocking, call recording, and the innovative Hold for Me feature that allows users to save time during phone calls. The app also provides caller identification, ensuring users know who is calling before answering, which can help filter out unwanted spam calls.

The user interface is straightforward, making it easy to navigate through favorite contacts and access functions like dark mode. Additionally, it supports assisted dialing for international calls and includes real-time scam detection for added security. While the app excels in many areas, users may find that call notifications can disappear quickly, potentially leading to missed calls.

Developer’s Description

By Google
A better way to call.

Improve your calling experience and call control by updating the Phone app for your Android 7.0 (Nougat) or newer device. You'll get Google Duo video calling, spam protection, and caller ID.

GOOGLE DUO VIDEO CALLS

To make the highest quality one-to-one video call, simply tap from the call log, search, or contacts card. Easily switch a voice call to a Duo video call with Google Duo installed and activated.

SPAM PROTECTION

See warnings about potential spam callers and report suspicious calls to help protect the community from telemarketers, fraudsters, and spammers.

CALLER ID

Know who's calling before you pick up, with business names now visible on the call screen along with their number.

CALL BLOCKING

Get the calls you want, and not the ones you don't. You can now block numbers to prevent unwanted calls.

VISUAL VOICEMAIL

Check your messages without having to call voicemail - view, playback and delete them right from the Phone app and download the audio to your device.

NEARBY PLACES

No more switching apps or cumbersome copy and paste. Just find and call places right from the search bar in the Phone app.

MINI CALL VIEW

Switching from a call shrinks the call screen so it can be moved while multitasking in other apps.
