TL;DR We’ve managed to enable the upcoming “My Calling Card” feature in Google’s Phone app.
You can now create your own Calling Card, choose a photo, customize fonts, and control who sees it.
If someone hasn’t customized your card already, they’ll see your version when you call.
Google introduced Calling Cards for Android last year. Just like iOS, Calling Card on Android lets you customize how incoming calls from friends and family appear on your phone. It’s a great feature, but has been lacking something big Apple offers with Contact Posters on iPhones since the feature came around. While you can customize how other people’s Calling Cards look on your device, you can’t control how your own Calling Card appears when calling other people.
In October, we reported that Google is about to fix this limitation. We found that Google is working on a new “My calling card” option inside the Phone by Google app to allow you to set up your own Calling Card that would appear for other users when you call them. At the time, the setting existed, but it didn’t actually do anything. Now, we can show you exactly how you’ll be able to set up your own calling card.
We managed to enable “My calling card” in version 204.0.852029473-publicbeta-pixel of the Phone by Google app, and it looks pretty much ready for prime time.
