You are relaxed or relaxed at the table and, when your eyes narrow, you have an impertinent call. You look at the mobile or landline screen and see a normal number. Of 9 figures. Without long or strange prefixes that make you think that it is a switchboard for Jazztel, Másmovil, Vodafone or any other telephone, insurance or other company eager to sell you a product. So you pick it up and answer. And you realize that it was obviously a business call.Well, the application Google Phone, the call application for Google Pixel mobiles, has been avoiding this for some time with one of its anti-SPAM functions, in addition to other features very useful for the average user. So you can have it on your mobile.

An Android app but not for all Android phones

The only problem when using Google Phone, which is what this application is called, is that it is not available for all terminals. In fact, it was believed that it was an exclusive application for the Google Pixel and some other brand terminals such as Xiaomi. However, recently, it has been discovered that the application can be installed on other mobiles. And what's better: allows you to use its extra features and anti-SPAM tools A real advantage over the default applications that arrive on most mobile phones and that don't have these options.

At the moment, according to the XDA Developers forum, the application seems to have expanded its support to new devices without announcing it publicly. This means that it can now be installed on more mobiles, although Google has not specified which ones they are. So, for the moment, it's only possible to do trial and error with your installation to be able to take advantage of its qualities and extra functions.

For now it has been discovered that the Asus Zenfone 6, Oppo Find X2 Pro, LG V60 ThinQ and other devices with different layers of customization on top of the Android operating system can also download and use the application. The key is to go through the Google Play Store and check that Google Phone allows it to be installed as one more application. No need to root the phone, install programs or carry out elaborate processes

Of course, after installing the application and starting it for the first time it is possible that you come across a alert message that notifies you of that the application does not work properly. It is a mere warning to report that there may be failures. However, the findings of this forum indicate that, even if this message appears, if we have managed to install the application regularly there will be no problem, being able to enjoy this calling application and its advantages.

How to avoid SPAM calls

Once we have the Google Phone application installed on our mobile we only have to access the settings to establish certain SPAM call filters. Per se, the application can detect numbers registered as SPAM.To do this you have to activate this function of Caller ID and SPAM With this, the incoming call screen will show you the name of the business if it is registered with Google to know who calls you at all times. But, in addition, we can activate several filters to avoid being disturbed.

The key is to make this filter smaller by activating, for example, the possibility of filtering calls whose numbers we do not have written down in our phonebook. Or even not allow receiving calls from hidden numbers that do not show their digits. It will have to be a posteriori, selecting the number that has called you and marking it as SPAM adding some of these filters or excuses so that your calls do not arrive again.
