Google's call screening feature coming to India
Google is preparing to roll out its AI-powered Call Screening feature for Pixel users in India, almost seven years after it debuted in the US.
This tool helps you dodge spam and unknown calls by identifying callers and offering quick, smart replies—no talking needed.
How Google's call screening works
Unlike the US, Indian users will need to tap a "Screen call" button to activate the feature during incoming calls.
Right now, only English is supported (even though there are hints of Hindi coming later).
You can pick from AI-generated responses while the call is screened.
Apple's Live Voicemail vs Google's call screening
Apple's got a similar screening tool coming with iOS 26's Live Voicemail, but Google's version stands out by focusing on user control and adapting for local needs—like manual activation and future language options—which could make life easier for anyone tired of constant spam calls.
