Google is rolling out a new feature for its Phone app that will announce the name and number of any incoming calls — a move to help users screen unwanted calls.
To enable the new feature, open Google Phone, go to Settings and then Caller ID announcement.
The “Announce caller ID” is disabled by default but you can choose between “Always,” “Only when using a headset,” or “Never.”
Caller ID announcements are a great accessibility feature, allowing people with visual impairments to more easily know who is calling them.
The new feature is available globally for all Android phones that use the Google Phone app for calls.
