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.

Having an issue with incoming calls. phone doesn't ring then I get a notification for missed call. It's a phone's most important function. I've checked every single setting in the app, in the account and cannot find the problem. I've cleared cache, I've uploaded the app. will my phone continue to work if I uninstall it? I didn't download it, it came with the phone.

Hi Belinda. You can change your phone’s call ringtone, vibration settings, quick responses, and call history display. Check this link for the steps: https://goo.gle/3c3txCV. Hope this helps.

Could be a lot better. It's hard to hear people on speaker and cuts out when I get small airplanes flying over. Maybe T-mobile's Network as well. Also hangs up on some business calls when on hold for more than 5 minutes sometimes. Update. 3/20/26. I am still having these issues after trying suggested solutions. Today I was on with a company and the call disconnected. The problem is still there apparently. Update: March 29. I switched carriers and pretty much the same and worse. Interface sucks.

the app won't even let me open it to call people I really need to call. i click it to open it and it immediately kicks me out before I can get passes the loading part. I've literally looked up everything i possibly could and nothing is wrong. I've tried factory reset, clear storage, clear cache, force stop, and I've tried Google for solutions but it gives me all the stuff I've already started and it hasn't worked all day

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.
