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.

My phone rings once then scans then ends and marks as spam. My doctors and family tells me it goes straight to voicemail. I don't know who's voice mail but it is not mine. The only way I know what and when things and appointments are is when I have to call them. I cleared cache and data still the same issues. Google assistant is not even turned on. This app is screwed up.

you need this app to call or check your messages. but it sometimes likes to redirect your calls somewhere else or just doesn't call, or ring. the options are all up to date ... just a really easy app that I think can be easily hacked and taken over. no securities. it doesn't give very many options all the way around. it's a very plain app. I use it because there aren't any other options that I could find. can't change language option in voicemail either. gets stuck if you accidentally change it.

I still don't get over half my calls. Even ones in my contacts and a couple in my favorites. They go straight to my VM. I've been waiting for this to be fixed for over 3 years now over hundreds of app updates. This issue really would be the only thing that might hold me back from getting the Pixel 10 series or beyond. I am very disappointed because otherwise this pixel 7 pro has been one of my best phones ever.

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.
