If you’re getting too many spam calls, try…
Searching for unknown phone numbers quickly
You may instantly identify unknown callers and halt their spam calls by using reverse phone number lookup. Just choose the unknown number by tapping the phone icon and viewing your call history. To help you better understand who might be attempting to contact you, your Pixel will then look for information related to that number.
Clearing up your call history
Your call log may be overrun with spam and robocalls. With the new filters in your Recent view, you may now clear it out. In order to prevent your call history from being completely over run with random numbers, these new filters make it simple to locate missed calls, calls from contacts, and even filter out spam calls completely.
Navigating call menus with Direct My Call
Are you fed up with navigating automated phone menus? Direct My Call allows you to navigate with a tap by displaying the menu options directly on your screen. Simply tap and go no more listening to lengthy lists of alternatives!
Letting Hold for Me listen to hold music for you
If you’ve been placed on hold, Hold for Me is waiting for you on the queue. Hold for Me will alert you when someone is ready for you and let them know you’re coming back.
Using Call Notes to avoid the follow-up call or text
Call Notes eliminates the need to locate a piece of paper and pen in order to write down crucial information such as dates, addresses, follow-up items, and the general subjects you discussed during a phone conversation. It automatically generates call summaries that emphasize the most important information and complete transcripts that allow you to view the whole call.
Skipping the follow-up call or text with Call Notes
Which was intended to manage the kinds of phone conversations. As a result, it is able to determine what should be put in the note and what is probably unnecessary, such as the time you must arrive somewhere or the meeting location. Simply go to the Call Assist menu and activate Call Notes. You can then activate Call Notes for that chat by clicking on a button on your in-call screen while you’re taking calls.
Using live captioning for text-only calls
You may “read” and answer incoming calls with Live Caption. For people who are D/deaf, hard of hearing, or have partial hearing, it’s an amazing accessibility benefit. Simply enable Live Caption from your Pixel’s accessibility settings, and you’ll be presented with the option to use it the next time a call comes in. The caller’s words will be displayed in a text box with a keyboard. The program will read your input to the caller aloud, allowing you to type back to reply. You may also choose the speaker that will read your texts aloud to callers by going to Live Caption’s settings.
Using Call Screen’s suggested replies to respond in real time
You may learn who is calling you and why with the help of Call Screen. You can select whether Call Screen operates automatically or manually in your settings.
By default, the Call Screen operates manually; when a call comes in, you simply tap “Screen call.” You may utilize Call Screen to ask if the call is urgent if it’s from someone on your contact list by clicking “Ask if urgent.”
In both situations, Call Screen will record the call in real time on your screen and provide you the choice to communicate via replies if you are still unable or unable to answer. Additionally, you can activate AI-powered suggested replies on your Pixel 9 or Pixel 9 Pro to get a wider variety of real-time responses that are based on the caller’s words. After the call, you can listen to the audio or read the transcript on your Recent page.
If you set Call Screen to operate automatically, it will answer calls that seem suspicious and enquire as to who is calling and why. A silent message stating that screening is underway will appear; you can touch on the notification to view the transcript as it is being prepared and decide whether or not you want to respond.
Call Screen will courteously end the call if it is judged that the call is probably spam. You can choose whether or not to answer non-spam calls after they ring and you receive a synopsis of what was said. You can press “Call me back” to get the Call Screen to go back to the call and ask the caller to try you later if you’re still not ready to answer. You have complete control over how long you play phone tag, so if you decide to go with this later option, you can always use Call Screen again later.
