The rivalry between Google and Apple isn’t just about hardware sales—it extends deeply into software as well. Both companies often draw inspiration from one another when introducing new features to their operating systems. According to recent reports, Google is now working on a new feature called “Calling Card,” which closely resembles Apple’s Contact Poster introduced with iOS 17.
Google is working on a new feature called ‘Calling Card’
Apple’s Contact Poster was designed to make the call screen more vibrant and personal. With this feature, users can customize how they appear during a call by selecting photos, Memoji, fonts, and background colors. When you call someone, your personalized poster shows up on their screen, adding a fun and creative touch to the calling experience.
Google appears to be bringing a similar concept to Android. According to Android Authority, new code recently added to the Google Contacts app hints at the development of this feature. These lines of code suggest that users will soon be able to use custom fonts and full-screen visuals on their call screens. The feature is expected to launch first on Pixel devices, with a broader rollout to other Android smartphones in the future.
This move could be a major step for Google in making Android’s interface more personal and visually engaging. What do you think about this upcoming feature? Share your thoughts in the comments!
