Google Phone App Update Adds New Call History Filters
Google's latest Phone app update brings call history filters to categorize calls like spam, missed, and contacts, enhancing user experience for Android devices.
Phone App: Google is releasing a new update, many filters will be available for call history
Google is rolling out a new feature in its Phone app that aims to better sort calls on handsets. It is said to introduce multiple filters to sort out different types of calls, from spam to unknown callers. Users will now reportedly see calls sorted into different categories instead of a single complete list. The feature was first reportedly introduced to beta users of the Phone app, but has now been widely released for all Android users.
Filters on Google’s Phone app
According to a report, the Phone app can now categorize calls based on their type, such as all, missed, contacts, spam, and non-spam. This should presumably make it easier to find specific callers rather than having to scroll through a list of unrelated callers, however this only includes a specific set of filters and users don’t have the option to search for calls based on incoming or outgoing calls.
Call filters were first introduced with the 159.0.718038457-publicbeta-pixel2024 update of the Phone app last month. At the time, it was limited to beta users and there was no information about its public rollout, although reports suggest that it is now rolling out to all Android users.
