The call assist features are so unreliable and inconsistent, which is a shame because they're so cool. call screen has been broken for months with no way of activating it, hold for me has just completely disappeared recently, and direct my call never recognizes a robocall properly. Really disappointed, since this is one of the main attractions for buying a pixel phone.

My phone rings once then scans then ends and marks as spam. My doctors and family tells me it goes straight to voicemail. I don't know who's voice mail but it is not mine. The only way I know what and when things and appointments are is when I have to call them. I cleared cache and data still the same issues. Google assistant is not even turned on. This app is screwed up.

you need this app to call or check your messages. but it sometimes likes to redirect your calls somewhere else or just doesn't call, or ring. the options are all up to date ... just a really easy app that I think can be easily hacked and taken over. no securities. it doesn't give very many options all the way around. it's a very plain app. I use it because there aren't any other options that I could find. can't change language option in voicemail either. gets stuck if you accidentally change it.

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.
