You can set up Call Screen to automatically screen certain types of callers. Your Google Assistant asks callers why they’re calling. When you set up automatic call screening:
Calls from your contacts list aren’t screened.
Call Screen detects spam based on what a caller says, or if matched in Google’s database of known spammers and robocallers. A detected spam call is declined without alerting you.
For calls that Call Screen doesn’t detect as spam, your phone will ring and you’ll see how the caller responds. Then you can pick up or decline the call.
After the call, you can read the transcript and listen to the call audio in the “Home” tab. If you don’t want audio from the call screening phase recorded, in “Spam and Call Screen” settings, turn off Save Call Screen audio.
Tip: To protect your privacy, transcripts and recordings are stored only on your phone.
Screen calls manually
If you tap Screen call, the caller is asked why they’re calling, and is told you’ll get a copy of the conversation. You can get a real-time transcript of what the caller is asked and how they respond. If you pick up the call, screening and transcription end immediately.
Use AI replies
AI-powered replies are generated on device based on the caller’s Call Screen responses. They’re more flexible and suit more occasions than the preset suggested replies. To use AI-powered replies, turn them on. Learn more about AI replies.
Replies may be inaccurate and don’t represent Google’s views. By using AI replies, you agree to the Google Terms of Service.
The beauty of it being on Android is Google Assistant must be enabled and monitoring calls, rather than this feature being built into the OS.
I don’t think that’s true, my pixel 4 has Google assistant disabled and call screening has been working great for the last 5 years.
Im curious if its actually disabled then:
