You can immediately allow Google’s Verified Call feature if you are looking to get even more privacy on your Android phone.
Verified Calls is Google’s way of amplifying caller ID in such a way that you can quickly tell if a caller is a legitimate business or not. With this feature now available, businesses can sign up to use Verified Calls which makes it possible for them to better inform you why they are calling. In other words, you won’t even have to answer the call to know why that legit business is trying to contact you.
It will help to make it easier for users to stop spam calls and make it easy to check instantly if a call is from a company they trust. This new feature will improve call response times for businesses and could help create trust between you and potential customers / consumers.
The feature started rolling out to Android in September and is only available for the Google Phone app. If your device works with stock Android you should be good to go. However, if your Android phone of choice is a Samsung (or from another manufacturer that uses a different phone app), you’ll need to install the Google Phone app from the Google Play Store. Without the Google Phone app, you cannot make use of this feature–one that many will eventually be considered a must-have.
To enable the Verified Calls feature, open the Phone app and tap on the menu button in the upper-right corner. From the popup menu, tap Settings. From the list of options, tap Caller ID and spam.
In the resulting window, tap the On/Off slider for Verified Calls until it’s in the On position

Six days after Android 17’s stable rollout began on June 16, a growing number of Pixel owners are dealing with a touchscreen bug that makes their devices genuinely unreliable. Swipes invert direction, taps either fail to register or fire multiple times, and screens go briefly unresponsive before recovering. Google has confirmed the bug and says […]
Motorola Quick Launch lets users double-tap the back of the phone to trigger a custom action without touching the screen. According to AT&T’s support documentation for the Razr+ 2025, when Quick Launch is enabled, that double-tap can perform actions like taking a screenshot or returning to the home screen. That specific wording — “certain options […]
If a Samsung phone occasionally shows a small flashing dot – or several – on the display, the proximity sensor is almost certainly the cause. These dots typically appear near the top center of the screen and become most visible during phone calls, when the under-display sensor is actively working. It’s worth distinguishing these from […]
Samsung builds the Galaxy Watch on the assumption that most people want some level of health and fitness tracking. That may be true for many users – but even if it describes you, there are several health settings running in the background that you might never actually check. If that data isn’t being used, there’s […]
Portable tech exists on a spectrum. A desktop setup stays home. A laptop travels. A phone handles the street-level stuff. And when even pulling out a phone to skip a song feels like too much effort, a smartwatch steps in. It’s the layer of tech that lives on your wrist, always available without the friction. […]
Before USB-C came along in 2014, smartphones relied on mini USB, micro USB, or Apple’s proprietary Lightning port. Android devices made the switch to USB-C early on — the Nokia N1 tablet was one of the first devices to feature the reversible connector — and Apple eventually followed suit, dropping Lightning with the iPhone 15 […]
