How to screen calls on an Android phone

Summary

Nutrition label

64% Informative

Google and other Android phone makers have added a range of built-in features to detect and deal with unwanted callers.

These include having suspicious numbers flagged before you answer, being able to block nuisance callers, and even getting AI to answer incoming calls for you.

As usual on Android , different models offer different features.

Other Android -based phones may differ slightly, but you should find a similar set of tools available.

Samsung Galaxy phones have something similar called Bixby Text Call .

Your phone will answer calls on your behalf and transcribe what’s being said onscreen for you.

Using the buttons at the bottom, you can end or pick up the call at any point or provide simple smart replies.

To read transcripts from previous calls, head to the Recents tab in the Phone app.
