Android adds feature that will delight customization fans
Calling Cards let users customize the appearance of incoming calls on their own Android devices, but until now, there was no way to choose how your card would appear on other people’s phones. In the beta version of Google’s Phone app, a new option called My Calling Card has appeared, which may address this limitation.
This was reported by Android Authority.
What will change with My Calling Card
Apple already offers Contact Posters starting with iOS 17, and this year Android introduced Calling Cards to personalize what you see when friends or family call. Google has gradually added customization options, including more flexible font management, but a basic limitation remained: there was no way to determine how your card would appear on someone else’s device.
In version 197.0.821392025-publicbeta-pixel of the Phone by Google app, a new menu item called My Calling Card was discovered. Its description matches what users were expecting: a tool to select the appearance of your card when displayed on other devices.
Currently, tapping the Create button does nothing functional, but it is reasonable to expect that it will eventually open a screen similar to the one used to customize Calling Cards for contacts.
Questions remain regarding priority conflicts: what will the recipient see if they have already created their own card for you, while you have set up your card via My Calling Card? Ideally, users would have a choice, or Google could allow setting a default behavior.
Despite the uncertainties, the appearance of "My Calling Card" seems like an important step in the right direction. It shows that Google is addressing the issue and working to make Calling Cards a fully functional counterpart to the iOS implementation. A more functional demonstration of this feature is expected soon.
