Google is also bringing Custom Greetings to its existing Take A Message feature. Take A Message kicks in if you miss or decline a call, prompting the caller to leave a voice message just like voicemail. The message audio is recorded and transcribed for your convenience. However, the new Custom Greetings feature lets you record your own audio message for callers. The feature rolled out in beta back in April, and it should now be more widely available.
Furthermore, Take A Message itself is now expanding to new markets as part of this Pixel Drop. The new markets are: Austria, Belgium, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malaysia, Mexico, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, Sweden, Switzerland, and Taiwan. These new locales join Australia, Canada, Ireland, the UK, and the US. The feature is available for the Pixel 6 series and newer. However, Google notes that the feature is only available on the Pixel 10 series in India.
