Google introduces next-gen call screening for Pixel phones
Google has unveiled a new call screening feature for some Pixel phones that lets you use Google Assistant to handle incoming calls. With the new Hello button, you can activate Google Assistant to ask the caller for their name and purpose and listen to their reply live. You can then decide whether to take the call, reject it, or ask the caller to hold on. This gives you more flexibility and convenience than the previous Call Screen feature, which only shows you a transcript of the caller’s response. The new feature also records the transcripts for later review. The new call screening feature is exclusive to the Pixel Fold and Pixel 6 phones and newer.
