Google keeps making the Pixel Phone app more powerful with strong updates, delivering much-sought-after features to additional users globally.
The most recent rollout adds Call Screen, Call Notes, and Scam Detection to additional areas while finally rolling out call recording to every area globally on Pixel phones.
Pixel Phone App Smarts Up and Becomes More Affordable
For years, the Pixel Phone app has been more than a simple dialer, providing such innovations as spam filtering, call transcription, and smart caller identification. Yet many of these features have been exclusive to the United States and a few select regions, restricting their potential. Google's new update corrects this by expanding access across several countries.
Pixel users in Australia, Canada, and Ireland will now enjoy Call Screen and Scam Detection for added defense against unwanted disturbances. Users in India get access to Manual Call Screen in English and Hindi with real-time translation. This way, language differences will not stop Pixel users from knowing who's calling on the other side.
Call Notes and Android Auto Integration
The other feature upgrade is in the form of Call Notes, which allows one to take important points without interrupting the flow. Once a call is completed, the app will also provide suggestions for tasks, reminders, and calendar events based on what was discussed. You can also opt to turn Call Notes on for all calls and include a quick timer to turn it off if required.
Call Notes will become available in beta this fall for Pixel users in Australia, Canada, Ireland, and India. Both Call Screen and Call Notes will also support integration with Android Auto to provide safer, hands-free call management while driving.
Worldwide Rollout of Call Recording
According to Android Police, the most eagerly awaited feature is the global rollout of call recording on Pixel phones. Once limited to some markets, this will be available in all regions that support it. Pixel 6 and later versions of the phone will have a direct call recording capability from the Phone app.
For privacy compliance, the system will automatically play a disclaimer that informs participants that they are being recorded.
It's no wonder that Google has made the Pixel Phone app one of the most intelligent and adaptable dialers in the market through the launch of intelligent call management features. Aside from achieving a more personalized calling experience, Pixel phone owners can have peace of mind thanks to these features.
