Google's Phone app introduces Calling Cards that replace small contact photos in incoming-call screens with full-screen images and stylized names. The feature aligns with Android's Material 3 Expressive design language and follows a revamped Phone app interface trial. Calling Cards began appearing in beta for Contacts and Phone apps and are rolling out publicly in Phone app v188 in phased worldwide releases. Users can access Calling Cards from a Home tab banner or via Contacts, then choose images from camera, gallery, or Google Photos and pick a font and color for the displayed name. Calling Cards are device-specific and cannot be edited by the contact. The update also includes a Take a message option that can automatically answer and transcribe voicemails, with support for custom recorded messages.
Google's Phone app is adding "Calling Cards" that let you customize the appearance of contact screens for incoming calls. They're similar to the Contact Poster feature that iPhone users have had since 2023, allowing Google Phone app users to replace the teeny contact photos that appear when someone is calling you with full-screen images and stylized names. The update is part of Android's Material 3 Expressive design language overhaul, which Google used to test a revamped Phone app interface in June.
From there, Calling Cards can be created for each contact by selecting an image from the device's camera, gallery, or Google Photos, and choosing a font and color option that will be used to display the contact's name. Unlike Contact Posters on iOS, you can't design your own Calling Card that will appear for other contacts when you call them.
