The Google Dialer app has several useful settings that can improve call management. These settings include announcing the caller's name, automatically silencing the phone by flipping it over, and identifying spam calls. The speaker recommends enabling these settings for a better user experience.
Caller ID & Announcement
• 00:00:30 The 'Caller ID Announcement' setting in the Google Dialer enables automatic caller name announcements during incoming calls. This setting eliminates the need to look at the phone to see who is calling. By changing the default 'Never' setting to 'Always', users can hear the caller's name before answering.
Spam Call Identification
• 00:01:19 The 'Caller ID & Spam' setting helps users identify spam calls. When enabled, the Google Dialer labels suspected spam calls on the screen, alerting the user. This setting helps avoid receiving unwanted or potentially malicious calls by allowing the user to readily identify the call as spam.
