We all get countless calls on our phones daily, from friends, family, relatives, and colleagues. But sometimes, we get calls from unknown numbers, which can be annoying, especially when we're busy. You pick up the phone hurriedly, only to realize it's a call from a business or telemarketer. Frustrating, right?
To tackle this issue, Google has launched a new feature called LookUp. This feature helps identify unknown callers, and it’s currently available only for Google Pixel phone users. With this feature, you can identify the caller’s information without needing an additional app.
For Pixel phone users, identifying unknown calls has become a breeze. The LookUp feature makes it convenient to decide whether to answer unknown calls or not.
The LookUp feature can identify callers from unknown numbers. It was initially launched in Japan and is now available to Google Pixel users worldwide. When you receive a call from a number not saved in your contacts, it appears in the list. By tapping on it, you’ll see options like Add Number, Message, and History, along with the new LookUp option. Tapping LookUp will show you the name associated with the number, especially useful for identifying calls from banks or commercial organizations.
Previously, identifying unknown calls required using a separate app. With the new LookUp feature on Google Pixel phones, this need is eliminated. You can instantly identify unknown numbers, saving your valuable time. You can decide whether to answer or block the call by simply tapping on the number.
One of the best things about the LookUp feature is that it’s a server-side update. This means you don’t need to download a new version of the phone app to use it.
