What is Pixel Call Screening feature
Pixel Call Screening is an AI-powered feature that transcribes unknown and spam calls in real-time, saving users the trouble of picking up and potentially falling victim to scams. For example, think of it as a multilingual bouncer at your digital door screening callers before reaching you.
Google has two types of
Screen Calling
feature: Automatic and Manual. There is no information which type of
Screen
Calling, if it comes, will be available in India.
Call Screen can be set up to screen certain types of callers. Google Assistant asks callers why they’re calling. However, calls from your contacts list aren't screened. Furthermore, 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 the user.
For calls that Call Screen doesn't detect as spam, the phone will ring and users will be able to see how the caller responds. After the call, users can read the transcript and listen to the call audio in the “Recents” tab. Google says the Call Screen uses new, on-device technology to keep calls private.
