Google has updated the Google Phone app with a new feature, Caller ID announcement. With enabled, the app can announce who's calling when your phone rings. The feature, first spotted by 9to5Google, is now rolling out. Here's how to set it up when it becomes available to you.
Despite being a rudimentary feature, it will undoubtedly be a big inclusion that many people will have been waiting for, 9To5Google reported.
Other OEMs have provided their alternatives, but since the Google Phone app has been made available to all Android devices and starting to become the default dialer for many Android phones, it's an important new addition.
To enable the new feature you can open Google Phone > Settings > Caller ID announcement. The "Announce caller ID" is disabled by default but you can choose between "Always," "Only when using a headset," or "Never".
In conjunction with the blocking options, this should help you manage unwanted calls with much more precision. The Caller ID announcement in the latest Google Phone build might be especially useful if you are listening to music or general audio and have it unceremoniously cut short due to a random incoming call, the report said.
