I like the improvements to the UI, but I've had a lot of functionality issues over the last year. The caller ID not showing up all time is annoying, but the voicemail syncing is just non existent. I'll get a notification 20 hours later that I received a new voicemail. most of the time that I click "play" on a message it says it can't be retrieved. It's been a long time that it's been going on, and other Pixel users I know have said the same thing. PLEASE FIX!

Hi Erica. Try restarting your phone and make sure you have updated the Phone app to the most recent version. If that doesn't work, try clearing the app’s cache and storage or you may also uninstall and reinstall the Phone app. Hope this helps!

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.

Functionally the app works well. I don't like the recent update that removed the favorites tab and placed my starred contacts only at the top of the window. If they're going to be there at least make it so I can organize them how I want, not just default alphabetic. Also give the option to long hold on them to message or video chat instead of auto calling them if I click on that starred contact.

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.
