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 have two major problems with Google's Phone app. One, I CANNOT adjust the volume of calls mid-call. I can adjust the volume up or down before initiating or taking a call but volume controls on my Pixel 7 do nothing to change call volume mid-call. TWO, if I BLOCK a number for some reason the calling app still allows that number to leave me voicemails. Blocked numbers should be completely ignored, I don't want notifications, a listing in my call history or voicemails from blocked numbers.

The worst phone application I have ever used! Half the time I try to call a number it will open dead air, then after 5 seconds to a minute, it just hangs up. It never actually dials the number! Edit to add: This has nothing to do with "connectivity issues." I have full signal. You just built a bad system.

Hi, Walter. Please check your cellular or Wi-Fi connection. The Wi-Fi or mobile data icon should have at least 1 bar. If you experience bad connectivity, move to a location with better connection. If you still have issues, submit feedback within the Phone app by clicking the Menu button then the 'Support' tab and tap 'Send Feedback'. Thanks!

This app is great for Pixel devices. Everyone else is out of luck as otherwise it is an annoying app that has major accessibility issues. I use a bluetooth keyboard and due to how the app is coded, the number row doesn't work when you have to navigate through prompts IN and automated system. Instead, you have to arrow to reach numbers and hope you can do it quickly enough before the automated system times out from processing your response. It doesn't matter what kind of keyboard i used either

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.
