Call screen is one of my favorite features on the Pixel. I choose to buy the Pixel 6 Pro over the Samsung S21 Ultra because of that feature and a few others.
Call screening is one of the features that I can not wait for because there is nothing I hate more about my current phone than the fact that allows these calls to come through to me.
The manual version at least:" today we’re expanding manual Call Screen to Pixel users in the U.K., France, Germany, Australia, Ireland, Italy and Spain"
Finally! I feel like we miss out on a lot of these kind of features that make Pixel unique in the UK.
Has anyone set it up yet? Can't see the option in settings just yet so I assume it's rolling out
I've just installed Android 12 on my Pixel 4xl and updated all my apps but I don't see the call screening option.
The phone app was last updated 7th October, so I guess it's not been rolled out here in the UK yet.
I have the Pixel 4XL and have just tried it with my wife, I have the option, i was on the android 12 beta but upgraded to stable. I also have the Google phone beta.
Oh nice, can you check your Phone's app version?
I was also in Android 12 Beta, so I'm really unsure. Maybe it's a staged rollout? Also, are you in the UK?
Aha... I don't have access to the Phone App Beta program, unfortunately. Hopefully, we get it soon.
EDIT: I got Call Screening access by joining Phone Beta via the Play Store.
I downloaded the phone beta app on the playstore yesterday and unfortunately it's not working for me (France). Language is downloaded and installed but when I receive a call and click on "screen call" it doesn't work and the person can hear me talking. Anybody else with this bug?
Roughly 2/3 of the way down the page:
*If you do get a call from an unknown number, not to worry – Call Screen helps you find out who they are and why they’re calling before you pick up. Call Screen helps users in the U.S., Canada and Japan screen 37 million calls each month,* ***and today we’re expanding manual Call Screen to Pixel users in the U.K., France, Germany, Australia, Ireland, Italy and Spain****. Our latest on-device speech models make the transcriptions more accurate than ever on Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro thanks to Pixel’s new Google Tensor.*
Austria left out as always. Hope it will start here soon too. Can't stand those calls when my anxiety is hitting so that shall be perfect, if it would be available here.
I predicted this was coming a month ago, i saw the options in the phone app in the UK to enable call screening but none of it worked, I even tried to tip off Android Police.
I have Call Screen working in Spain. It shows in the phone app settings as _Filtro de llamadas_ if your phone is set in Spanish. It talks to the caller in Spanish as expected. I had to join the beta program for the phone app before I could enable this option.

Perfect timing because scam calls are going around like crazy in Ireland lately because our health care service had a massive data breach.
More likely Facebook actually, it's a much more readily accessible database.
This isn't unique to Ireland
Ok?
The manual version at least:" today we’re expanding manual Call Screen to Pixel users in the U.K., France, Germany, Australia, Ireland, Italy and Spain"
Still a great feature. Auto-screening though is great, catches so many spam callers.

Just checked in phone settings, doesn't look like its enabled yet?
Still i don't get it that why they didn't started to sell Pixel 6s in Italy just like everywhere else...
Finalmente! (At last!) This is very good news.
THANK FUCK. I'm incredibly happy about this. Does anyone know when this will be available in the UK? Is it only available on 6 right now?

Yeah, I installed A12 yesterday and I don't see it on Pixel 5 either. Phone app version 70.05.401408800
It says Pixel users, not Pixel 6 users, so it should be available, but I'm not seeing the option.

I'm running version 71.0.404043347-publicbeta. It might be staged right now, I am in the UK as well.

I am also located at France. I am unable to change its language to English. Could you please help?
So much for Brexit
I don't see where it says it's launching in UK on that link.... :(

Thanks :)
it's a start I guess

Oh so Call Screening in Spain? Could that mean Pixel 6 will be sold here as well?

That's great. In Germany i don't get too many of these calls but still
Just noticed this on a call that came through (UK). Finally!
I have Call Screen working in Spain. It shows in the phone app settings as _Filtro de llamadas_ if your phone is set in Spanish. It talks to the caller in Spanish as expected. I had to join the beta program for the phone app before I could enable this option.
