Kerry Wan/ZDNETI’ve been a Pixel phone devotee since the beginning, and one of my favorite features is the call-screening capability that debuted with the Pixel 3 in 2018. I don’t remember the last time I answered an unnecessary call, and I can’t imagine switching to a phone without it.Also: You should update your Google Pixel phone ASAP – here’s whyOver the years, though, Pixel call screening — now named Call Assist — has added several new tricks beyond simply keeping robocalls and other spam phone calls at bay.

It listens to your calls, extracts the important information, and creates a summary of your call.

Google says Call Notes understands what’s important on a call and only saves what you need. You do need to activate Call Notes for each conversation. More
