In “Hold for Me,” when a Pixel user is put on hold, he doesn’t have to monitor the call, awaiting the return of the other party. Instead, the Google Duplex AI technology monitors the connection, and when the other party returns to the call, the Pixel user receives an alert. This alert tells the Pixel user to pick up the phone and return to the call. In iOS 26, iPhone users will have a feature called Hold Assist that does the same thing.

Many assumed that “Take a Message” would be exclusive to the Pixel 10 line. However, it is available on the Pixel 4 and later. To enable the feature on your compatible Pixel handset, open the Phone app on your Pixel and tap the three-line hamburger icon in the search bar. It’s at the top of the screen and on the left side of the search bar. Tap on Settings, then Take a Message, and toggle on the feature.
Even if you decline a call, you can still answer it quickly if you read something in the transcript that you want to ask the caller about before the call ends. When you miss a call or decline to answer it, the caller will hear the following message: “The person you have called is not available. Please leave a message.” When a message is left, you’ll see a transcript in Call history, and a play button. Tap the play button to hear a recording of the message.
