- • Google’s “Calling Cards” feature is now widely rolling out in v188 of the Phone app, allowing Android users to personalize incoming/outgoing call screens with full-screen photos and styling options.
- Calling Cards differs from Apple’s Contact Posters in that it gives you full control over how each contact appears on your device — you set one card per contact manually.
- Alongside Calling Cards, the updated app introduces major UI changes, including a new Home page and a redesigned calling interface.
Google looked at what Apple is doing with iOS’ Contact Posters and figured Android users also need a similar feature. Enter Calling Cards from the Google Contacts app, a personalized calling screen that uses full-screen images to bring life to your contacts. We spotted Calling Cards first in June, and the beta rollout for the feature began two weeks ago. Now, Calling Cards are widely rolling out to users in the stable branch of the Phone app so that everyone can enjoy this new experience.
Google says Phone app users worldwide will now see the new Calling Card feature when they update the app to v188 or later. The experience is rolling out in phases, so if you don’t have it yet, you just have to be a bit patient, and you will eventually receive it on your phone.
