Android gets iOS‑style visuals: Google Phone’s calling cards show contact images full‑screen during calls, synced across devices

August 29, 2025 //  by Finnovate

Following the broader Material 3 Expressive redesign last week, the Google Phone app is now more widely rolling out calling cards. Once available, you’ll see an “Introducing calling card: Customize how you see your contact when they call you” promo at the top of the Home tab. In the Phone by Google app, this takes you to a “Calling card” page that will list all the ones you’ve added for quick editing. This is accessible at any time from the Phone app’s Settings list. Once you’ve selected a contact, you can take a new picture, open your gallery, or launch Google Photos to make a selection. Besides cropping the image and adjusting the framing, you can customize their name at the top with a carousel of font and color options. After setting, this image will appear on the incoming and in-call screens as a fullscreen image. (Keep in mind the solid bottom sheet for call controls.) Compared to Apple’s implementation or profile pictures in Google Messages, these images are unique to you. Likewise, you don’t get to set how you appear to other people. We’re now seeing this roll out to stable users with version 188 of the Google Phone app. It’s coming alongside the Pixel 10 and ahead of the Material 3 Expressive launch with Android 16 QPR1.
