Google Phone App Can Now Filter Spam and Unknown Calls from Call History

Google is introducing a new feature in its Phone app that will help the phone filter calls more effectively. Calls are sorted by kind using a variety of filters, ranging from spam to unknown callers. According to reports, users would no longer receive a single stream of calls displaying all of them, but rather calls divided into several categories.

Users can sort their call history by missed calls, calls from contacts they’ve saved, and even numbers that have been flagged as spam thanks to the call filters.

As a result, users may now swiftly review crucial missed calls without having to sift through pointless entries or completely filter out calls from unknown numbers. It does not, however, allow users to search for calls based on their incoming or outgoing calls; instead, it only offers a limited number of filters.

This tool is the latest in a long line of innovations the Mountain View-based tech business has introduced to improve user ease and lower the volume of spam calls it receives.

One such feature on Pixel devices is the Call Screen, which allows the agentic function to serve as a go-between for the caller and the recipient.

In addition to providing the recipient with a transcription of the conversation to aid in their decision to answer the call, it can ascertain the caller’s name and the reason for the call. The reverse lookup feature helps them identify the caller and weed out spam calls when they deal with unknown numbers.
