Get ready for a new way to make your calls stand out! Google's Phone app is cooking up an innovative feature called 'Expressive Calling' that will change the way we communicate.
This exciting development was uncovered by decompiling the latest APK version of the Google Phone app, giving us a sneak peek into potential future updates. While Google might not necessarily roll out all these features, it's an exciting glimpse into what's possible.
With Expressive Calling, you'll be able to add a personal touch to your calls. It's like sending a message before you even pick up the phone! You can choose from a list of reasons for your call, such as:
- 'Catch up' - a casual chat to reconnect
- 'News to share' - something exciting to discuss
- 'Quick question' - a simple inquiry that needs an answer
And here's where it gets interesting: you can also mark your call as 'It's urgent!' This is a game-changer for those times when you need an immediate response.
If the person you're calling also has Expressive Calling enabled, your urgent call will make a sound and even interrupt their Do Not Disturb mode. They'll also receive a notification if they miss your urgent call, ensuring they know it's important.
But here's the catch: this feature is likely to be exclusive to Pixel phones when it launches.
So, what do you think? Is this a useful addition to our calling experience, or just an unnecessary complication? We'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments!
