Google continues to push software boundaries with its Pixel phones. In recent years, the brand has had great success adding small but functional features that set its smartphones apart from the competition. Google’s most recent June Pixel launch included a small but incredibly useful upgrade to Google’s Pixel Call Assist. This upgrade makes it easier for users to look up unknown phone numbers from call logs, allowing you to find out who’s calling you with minimal effort.
New feature to help when mysterious numbers call
This feature, which was initially thought to be tied to launch, now appears to be rolling out for a variety of users. This suggests that the feature is not tied to a specific Android version. We can confirm that the feature works on our Pixel 8 Pro running Phone app version 132.0.639579382, which is on the May update. There are also reports of the feature appearing in Android 15 Beta 2.
The feature can be enabled by default without requiring a setting change. If you have it, you will see the new “Lookup” option when you tap on a phone number.
To get more information about a number, simply tap Lookup and you will be directed to a Google search for that number. If you’ve searched on your own or can imagine it, many numbers may not lead you to a result. Fortunately, Google has several tools in Pixel Call Assist to save you time and filter out random calls.
This new feature Google has added to the Phone app further improves the user experience. Identifying unknown numbers and filtering spam calls will be a great convenience for users in their daily lives. Especially for those who constantly encounter calls from unknown numbers, this feature stands out as an important innovation.
As a result, Google’s new “Lookup” button for Pixel phones will help users identify unknown numbers quickly and easily. Such innovations show that Google continues to increase the valuable features it offers to its users. With the integration of new features, Pixel phones will continue to gain an edge over their competitors.
