These Pixel 3 Features Are Coming to Older Pixel Devices

Call Screen

One of the most impressive demos during the Pixel 3 event was Call Screen*, a feature designed to filter out annoying spam calls. But more than that, the feature will let you see a real-time transcription of what’s being said on a call.

Pretend you’re getting a suspected spam call. A button will surface called “screen call,” which will then utilize a screening service from Google. The feature will attempt to figure out who is calling and why. It’s like having a personal assistant answer your calls.

You can then decide if you want to pick up, mark the call as spam, or quickly reply with a stock message. With spam calls worse than ever, Google’s new feature could be one of its most useful tricks in years.
