Google Launches Calling Cards for Android: Personalize Your Calls Now

UPDATE: Google has just launched its highly anticipated Calling Cards feature for Android users, providing a fresh and personalized way to connect with friends and family. This exciting new rollout is happening right now, as confirmed by Android Authority.

The feature, which is now live in the latest version of the Google Contacts app (version 4.61.28.792249534), allows users to customize the calling cards of their contacts, adding a unique flair to every call. Unlike Apple’s Contact Posters introduced in iOS 17, where users personalize their own profiles, Google takes a different approach, letting users modify the appearance of others’ calling cards.

This means that when you call someone, the way you appear is determined by the contact’s card. While this may seem unconventional, it opens the door to more creative expression, making your interactions more engaging. Users can adjust the font style, color, and even attach photos to contacts, enhancing the personal touch, especially for loved ones.

If you haven’t updated your app yet, do it now to take full advantage of this feature. Google is rolling it out in phases, so keep an eye on your app for the latest updates.

The new calling cards not only sync across all your devices through your Google account but also allow for extensive customization options that surpass traditional contact photos. This is not just a cosmetic change; it fundamentally alters how users interact with their contacts, creating a visually appealing experience.

For those eager to try it out, officials at Google suggest checking the app store for updates if you don’t see the feature immediately. The calling cards are designed to enhance user connection and make calling more visually appealing, emphasizing Google’s commitment to improving user experience.

As this feature begins to reach more Android users, it’s poised to change how we perceive and manage our contacts, making every call a bit more personal and stylish.

Stay tuned for more updates as we monitor the rollout and user feedback on this innovative feature.
