Prior to the recent update this was a great app. I liked the way that everything operated. No the app is almost unusable. If the app does not get changed back to how it worked before I will be changing phones to get something that is actually user friendly. My contract is up and I wanted to keep my phone for a while, but if you are going to make the Google phones so difficult to use, I will pay for a new phone to get away from this awful phone. I use my phone all day for work.

Always recording calls and I cannot turn it off. All instructions indicate to click the three dots in the upper right. I do not have that. Also indicates to click on my face in upper right, not there either!! Update: Thank you for the response Developer. In the instructions in your link it indicates "At the top right, tap More options (three dots)". That is the issue, there are no three dots there nor my face. Wish I could share a screenshot.

Pixel 9 Pro user - Incoming phone calls don't display whatsoever, however, the ringer works perfectly. So by the time I dig through multiple screens to answer the phone, the call is gone. It's apparent that some of these updates aren't vetted prior to pushing them out to the user since this isn't an isolated issue. Messaging features were goofed up too. C'mon Google, this is your platform, your phone, and your apps, get better at this or get out of the device business. It's getting old.

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.
