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.

The app has changed. It no longer groups the contacts call history into a uniform display and instead give you a log of everytime they call. Making the app and screen look very cluttered. Also makes finding the last time a particular contact who doesn't call often more difficult to locate. There is no setting to regroup the contacts into 1 log and checking the call log history from there. Instead we are forced to see a time and date for that contact every call, incoming or outgoing.

Less usable than it used to be. Swiping left/right is harder than up/down and changing the favorites to be a row renders them basically useless. I can't speed dial and Favorites now requires side scrolling. I was to be able to call a favorite as quickly as possible. Making these buttons tiny while making all other interfaces bigger is... a choice.

Phone is now completely unreliable since I upgraded to Android 15 (Moto mobile). Sometimes I can make calls, but usually not. I have a full signal and no other issues. I am also being alerted to missed incoming calls when the phone has been with me and never rang. Incredibly irritating to say the least! To add, Google, I said above I have FULL signal. Please don't patronise me again. Location is not the issue either. One day it works, the next day, same location and it doesn't.

Hi Stuart. 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!

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.
