There are a lot of great features in the Google Phone app. You can use it to get directions to places you’ve never been to, locate nearby businesses, or simply add people to your favorites.
Locate nearby places
The Google phone app is an excellent tool to use if you’re looking to find places nearby. In addition to providing a map of the local area, the app also shows you recommendations for businesses and places to go in the near future.
Using the app, you can browse through a selection of categories, like restaurants, bars, and hotels. You can also look for events, sports, and activities. It’s a good idea to check out the “Explore” feature, which is located in the bottom right hand corner of the app.
Another useful app is Yelp, which provides you with local business listings, reviews, and maps of what’s open at the moment. One of the features of the Yelp app is its ability to narrow down your search by location and price.
Add people to favorites
If you’re using an Android phone, you may already be familiar with adding people to your Favorites list. These contacts can be helpful when you’re looking for a contact quickly. They can also make calling them easier. For example, you can add a contact you frequently call, such as a family member, to your Home Screen.
The People app, which syncs your favorite contacts across devices, can help you keep track of them. You can also set them up as shortcuts. This makes it easy to call them when you want to.
To start adding favorites, you’ll need to access your phone’s Contacts app. Once there, tap the Favorites tab. From there, you can select a contact, rename it, and change its status. Also, you can delete a contact from the Favorites list.
Delete call history logs
When you get a new Android phone, you’ll find that it comes with a Google Phone app. This is an application that allows you to view your call history. Some phone manufacturers, such as Motorola, OnePlus and Vivo, also come with their own versions of the Phone app.
The Android phone’s call log is arranged by date and is displayed in the main home screen. You can view your call logs by signing into your carrier’s account. There’s also an option to export your phone’s logs.
However, it’s not as simple as it sounds. There are a few steps involved, so you’ll want to be sure to do your research before removing any entries from your call log.
Avoid scams and robocalls with Verified Calls
If you’re getting robocalls or scams, it’s important to know what to do. You can do this by using a free phone app, registering your number with the FTC’s National Do Not Call Registry, and by taking steps to protect your privacy.
One of the easiest ways to avoid scams and robocalls is to change your caller ID. But this doesn’t necessarily stop all robocalls. Some robocalls may use spoofing to make it appear that a caller is a local number. This is a form of identity theft.
Scammers will trick you into giving them personal information, such as your social security number. In addition, they may pressure you to buy something. They’re also able to use your identity to apply for credit cards.
Set as default phone app
The Android operating system offers a variety of ways to set your phone app as the default. You can change the phone app for specific tasks, such as SMS and web browsing, or you can select the phone app for everything. This way, when you tap your phone number on the Internet, you will be automatically launched into your preferred phone app.
While you are at it, you can also change how your links open. For example, if you’re concerned about unsolicited calls, you can install an app that blocks them.
The Android operating system provides several ways to change the way your phone app works, but you may want to consider a third-party app to do the heavy lifting. Many of these apps are available on the Play Store.
Become a beta tester
If you want to test new features and see what’s up with the Google Phone app, join the beta program. It’s free, it takes a couple of minutes, and it’s a fun way to be a part of the Android development community.
You can download the Beta Maniac application from the Play Store. All you need is your Google account and a little patience. The results are pretty impressive. After signing up, you’ll find a list of apps that support the beta program.
Another cool thing is that you can set your phone to use the Google Phone app as your default dialer. To do this, open the app and scroll down to the bottom of the page. You should see a link called “Become a tester.” Tap the link.
