Summary

  • Stable users of Phone by Google can now record custom Take a Message greetings, replacing the generic response callers hear when a Pixel answers on the user’s behalf.

  • The feature reached beta users in April and is now expanding to the stable channel.
  • Take a Message remains limited to Pixel 6 and newer devices in Australia, Canada, Ireland, the UK and the US.
