Google is closing a key gap in its Calling Cards feature, letting Android users customize how their caller ID appears on recipients’ phones—much like Apple’s Contact Posters. Spotted in the latest Phone app beta via APK teardown, “My Calling Card” brings photo, font choices, and visibility toggles (known contacts only or everyone).
How It Works
- Customize freely: Pick your photo (auto-crops to fit receiver’s screen), name, Google info.
- Priority rules: Recipient’s saved Card overrides yours; yours shows if they haven’t set one.
- Beta-only for now: No stable rollout date, but expected soon after August 2025 launch.
This fixes Android’s big limitation vs iOS 17’s full control. Pair it with Phone app stars like scam detection and call recording for a polished dialer.
Better late than never—five months post-launch, but welcome for personalized calls.
